Rogue Build(s) please comment

What are the abbreviations SD and IB? And why is abbreviation such a long word? You would think it would be a shorter word given what it means...

Shadow Dancer and Invisible Blade, I believe.

I have decided to go use this build instead

Rog 3/Swa 3 Asn 1/ Ftr 2/ SD 2/ Ftr 2/ IB1/ ASN 1 / IB 4/ ASN 1

Also note that you have to be careful with this build because you may incur the 20% exp penalty for classes that are more than 1 level higher than each other. For example, if you go Rogue 3, you will get the 20% exp penalty when you pick Swashbuckler 1. This will occur again when you go Fighter 1 as well.

Also making ranged death touch attacks...

By that I imagine you mean to use the Assassin's Death Attack (Ex) ability?

Death Attack: If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage...

If you throw your dagger, it is a thrown weapon, so you can't Death Attack with it.

no i havent can you post a link? Hmm, i didnt see that the Death Attack *had* to be melee but that was my old build anyway. The former build goes around Invisible Blade instead of Master Thrower.

Either way .. you could throw a ranged touch sneak attack

Elven Paragons were originally based on the AU concept of racial levels, and featured on Monte Cook's website. They were written by Andy Collins and some other folks, and later reprinted (with some new ones) in Unearthed Arcana. Here's the link: http://www.montecook.com/arch_stuff48.html

Sorry for ever doubting you guys ... 6 classes is indeed too much. So i revised and made a Rog 5/Asn5/ IB/ASN 3 (hips)/IB4/ASN 2

11d6 SA with a dagger and 8d6 with anything else. Feint for free. Death Attacks some spells what is not to love.

Question of feats
TWF
Finesse Daggers
Combat Reflexes*
WF Daggers
(no idea)*
Imp TWF
Greater TWF*

* could be swapped for something better

I was thinking of Imp Iniative, Imp Crit Daggers, Imp Trip (dex based),
Quickdraw( I have house ruled that the 2 of 12 daggers on my person are considered quickdraw on my bracer)

or anything that you might be able to think of

FWIW, there is an Assassin spell that allows you to make a Ranged Death Attack with your next attack. I forget which book it is in, but I think it is one of the Complete books.

By that I imagine you mean to use the Assassin's Death Attack (Ex) ability?
