[QUOTE="Sleeping Dragon, post: 1681059, member: 10019"] No build advice, you've got some pretty good advice from others already. I would recommend asking your DM if they allow you to make sneak attacks with spells as spelled out in Tome and Blood (basically, any spell that requires you to make an attack roll can be used to make a sneak attack, as long as you meet the usual sneak attack requirements). If your DM allows this, then stock up on spells that require attack rolls - wands of [i]ray of frost[/i] and [i]acid splash[/i] suddenly become very useful. You can also move up to flank and then sneak attack with melee touch spells such as [i]chill touch[/i] and [i]shocking grasp[/i]. At higher levels, [i]scorching ray[/i] becomes highly useful, since it allows you to fire multiple rays. These spells are especially useful because they merely require you to succeed on a touch attack, and touch ACs tend to be quite low. So when you DM sends some hulking warrior in full plate after you, you can laugh and pepper him with sneak attacks. :p Also, feinting is unfortunately not that useful to you, because it can't be used with ranged attacks: [/QUOTE]
