[QUOTE="parinho7, post: 5062106, member: 83511"] here is my suggestion: start up as a rogue, then take a few wizard levels (suggestion: diviner variant from unearthed arcana) and take 2 levels of unseer seer (cmage) and then continue as an arcane trickster. this is how it work: (you can take the cross-class learning feat for quicker access to the prestige classes if you are allowed) let's say you are rogue(3)/wizard(3)/unseen seer(2)/arcane trickster(10) -just by the classes you are provided with +8d6 sneak attack -the advanced learning from unseer seer gives you one abjuration spell (hunter's eye from ph2) that gives you +5d6 sneak attack (+6 if you have practiced spellcaster) and you can persist it since it has a personal range -you can get 2 feats: martial study -> martial stance to provide you with one stance (assassin's stance) +2d6 sneak attack so you have +15d6 sneak attack you MUST get the craven feat and penetrating strike alternative class feature from dungeonscape i think (half sneak attack damage to those who are immune to sneak attack) and i recommend fighting with two weapons, you'll end up with 4 attacks (5 with haste) you can cast greater invisibility, you can provoke sneak attacks with impromptu sneak attack class feature and in one round you can deal 15*5=75d6 sneak attack + 100 from craven + 30 dexterity bonus if you get superior finesse, if all your attacks succed you can also take the arcane strike feat (up to +8 attack +8d4 damage) for all your attacks in one round you can also take power attack, you will have no problem striking with the wraithstrike spell (spell compedium) and don't forget to cast greater magic weapon to your weapons (+4 attack +4 damage *5=20) [/QUOTE]
