[QUOTE="evileeyore, post: 238256, member: 1768"] If your going that way then focus on your primary rogue skills. You will be losing a good bit skill points. Also don't expect to macth the fighter in damage or AC. He will out tank you all day long. Stick with a bow for the beginning of combat 9DX being you thing). Not always... I've seen two dagger-fu, hand-axe craziness, shortbow, halfling bastard sword (a longsword balance to be the halfling equivalent of the bastard), etc Possible. If you go that route I would take 2-weapon fighting, ambidex, and Imp Init. 2WF allows you to draw 2 weapons anytime you could have drawn one, but a higher BAB you will start to need quickdraw. Also consider instead Weapon Finesse: Dagger. I have seen rogue focus on not being in melee, doing ranged sniping; on being the mage killer, sneak attack the guy in robes with poison; and as the fighters back up. Really you will find your niche. Not without special abilities from a few PrC... Yes you can sneak attack ranged. You must catch them flatfooted, which means you need to always be hiding or only do it in the first couple of rounds... and remeber sneak attack has to be within 30'... D'oh I forgot you were a Halfling.... Been playing in a humanocentric campiagn for so long have almost forgotten what other races are like :) [/QUOTE]
