[QUOTE="akbearfoot, post: 4545432, member: 33560"] he probably took spring attack since I think its required for tempest. Don't fool yourself into thinking that mobility is all that important as a 2WF tempest though. The 2-w spring attack is really not that great of an ability. All it really gives you is 1 extra attack when you spring attack, and that is duplicated by a feat now. As a fighter/rogue your #1 goal should be to get in flanking position with your tankish PC and get as many attacks as you can. That is pretty easy since you can spring attack to avoid AoOs while you get into flanking position. The bulk of your damage will pretty much always be from your sneak attack dice. Your more durable than a traditional rogue, but you have less versatility(IE less skill pts). If you don't like that style of character, then request your DM let you retrain your Wep Focus and Spec to scimitar and go Dervish. It's a strong prestige class, and the capstone ability 1 Thousand Cuts is really really cool. Or the invisible blade is a really good class to utilize daggers and feinting. Not many things will have a sense motive high enough to avoid your feints. But you'll suck against anything you can't sneak attack. A weakness the fighter/rogue shares, but the dervish does not. I think Scout mixes better with Dervish though. Skirmish is a little more versatile and easier to get to apply. And they still fill the trap finder position, although they don't get open locks.
