Newbie with General Skill Question

[Thalion94518]

I want to thank everyone for their help.

Turns out that someone else may be playing a rogue in the game. Therefore, I won't have to worry about doing well in so many skills.

So, I think I'm going to concentrate on being primarily the light fighter with infiltration skills and a bit of social skills as well.

Are people familiar with the Unfettered class from Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed? A former DM suggested that it might fight the hybrid fighter/rogue concept I want to build without having to multiclass.

If you ant to improve your to hit chances with a rogish type of character try gaining weapon finesse and using a rapier.

A rogue does most of his damage via sneak attack rather than actual weapon damage.

A rapier can be used with weapon finesse feat (uses Dex mod for to hit instead of str mod). That way you can focus on Dex instead of strength.

I also suggest maxing out tumble - there are a lot of beenfits for being able to tumble past opponents without generating an Attack of Opportunity.

Also don't forget the Use Magic Device skill, it is generally real handy in the long run.
