i know this will sound strange to those who know me but i would prefer humanoid races for this. non humanoids would have a hard time gaining the guild's trust. thou i like raptorans, flight, even limited as they have at this level, would cause some problems. shifters should be fine, which trait would you be taking? those asking about book of the nine swords should also post what schools they'll be taking manuevers from
reveille- i don't see any real reason you can't, thou i don't see much point exept you would get hide in plain sight 4 level before a ranger would and survival as a class skill
Have you considered the Scout (from Complete Adventurer)? The scout is kinda the combination of a Ranger and a Rogue, at least in flavor.
the the rogue varient class you named doesn't do that. there is a different varient that does that. why would a varient that gives you abilities from ranger also give you abilities from fighter, thats crossing three classes.
If no raptorans, would a 2nd shifter be fine?
trait beasthide or longstrider.
Disciplines: Tigerclaw, Ironheart (a little bit Stonedragon)
