For melee consider using a Rapier, and remember Rogues don't get Shield proficiency, so unless you are multiclassing, that's going to be a bad idea to try and use one. Disadvantage is bad news. Also, Dual Shortswords is great on a Rogue.However, Strength based Rogues benefit greatly from a level or two in Barbarian so you may want to go that route with Rapier+Shield. A Rogue/Barb using strength to Attack with a Rapier, can Reckless attack to activate sneak attack, and get Sneak Attack Damage and Rage Damage on the same hit.</blockquote>
