[QUOTE="Magus_Jerel, post: 128055, member: 3940"] The actual "worst combination" isn't rogue/monk. Theoretical character at 6th level: Fighter 4 - rogue 1 - barbarian 1 Feats, Point Blank Shot, Far Shot, Dodge, Mobility, Shot on the Run, Improved Sneak Attack Range, (Free feat?) Spell effects that I can activate - haste and expeditious retreat. The "attack spring sneak shot" can occur at a range of 125 feet with a longbow for: 1d8 +1d6 +str mod(w/ mighty bow) + magic enhancement .... each and every round. Also - If I am willing to not "spring back" - I get a full attack action, not just a single shot. This is important once My BAB exceeds +6 - and it will do so at 7th level. I can add rapid shot into the mix - to take one extra shot on my full attack action, using My 9th level feat slot - If I did not do so back at first level for some added low level firepower. At 10th level - the nastiness of My full attack action is: Full attack BAB's w/rapid shot = +8 +8 +3 1d8 +3d6 (sneak) +str mod (mighty bow?) + magic enhancement if all three shots hit... that is 3d8 +9d6 +3(str + magic bonuses) each and every round... And the wizzie just got His big bad fireball up to 10d6. Consider for the moment that once I manage to enter within about 120 feet (the range of the bulk of encounters) I can do a whole lot more damage than the wizard each and every round - and I don't have to worry about losing My spells to boot? now my task is just to make sure I get My sneak attacks. Secondarily - if you allow the damage range to be extended here... then you have two other areas you must consider favored enemy and weapon specialization. [/QUOTE]
