The trick is that D&D deals with heroic fantasy, and so even a greatsword takes several swings to kill a hero.###With regard to how to play a dual-wielding rogue with daggers: yes, you need to find a way of sneak attacking as much as possible. The drawback you have is that you can only move 5 feet and make a full attack with both daggers, so the initial round will only give you one attack as you move into position.On the other hand, dual daggers is a worthwhile strategy to pursue.My recommendations:* Yes, Tumble is the way to go. First round you should Tumble into a flanking position, the next round the attacks should start.* Enhancing your daggers with flaming and frost will significantly enhance your damage. d4+2 plus d6 fire damage is rather useful. Although it still palls in comparison to the bonuses you can get from Sneak Attack, neither should it be dismissed (especially against opponents that are immune to SA).* Invisibility allows you to sneak attack as well. Either get friendly with the party wizard, or invest in some potions or scrolls.* Levels in Fighter are a fine idea, especially for the bonus feats. However, just be aware that you're now no longer really playing a Rogue character, but instead a Fighter with some skills. The tactics are somewhat different. The benefits of having two daggers and Weapon Specialisation are very good indeed.Cheers!</blockquote>
