Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 2949450" data-attributes="member: 2525">I am interested in making a private investigator type of PC.The basic template I am drawing from for this idea is Marcus Didius Falco from the series of ancient Rome mystery books by Lindsey Davis.  See:<a href="http://sachem.suffolk.lib.ny.us/advisor/sleuth800.htm" target="_blank">http://sachem.suffolk.lib.ny.us/advisor/sleuth800.htm</a>I'd like some advice on building this character.He will start with a level of rogue (human - 32 point buy).  I'd like to make rogue the primary class, but not necessarily the only class.The adventure he will be playing in is Ptolus, so it is 50% city based and 50% dungeon based and 0% wilderness based.I am going to want some "face" skills, such as gather information, and bluff.  Also in need of the ability to watch places or people for a while, so hide and move silently are likely useful.  Spotting trouble, listening for it, and searching things will also be useful.  Knowledge (local) might also be useful for this type of character.I am going to need some skills at fighting.  It's not the primary focus of the character, but he will be sent to investigate dungeons, and roust some dangerous characters.  The ability to deal some non-lethal damage might be useful (but not mandatory).  Probably a spring attacking type fighter, though I am open to suggestions on this.I am open on the sources.  I do know that the Urban variant of ranger is available, as are most racial paragon classes from UA.  If there is a particularly well done investigator prestige class out there from any source, I am interested in taking a look at it.  WOTC offcial sources or monte cook sources are preferred, but I am open.So far, the closest I have come is the Vigilante prestige class, but it is not as close as I would like.  That character seems more batman than investigator.Anyone have some suggestions?</blockquote>
