Oh, and never forget Use Magic Device <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />For a Rogue, that works as a Thief, search, disable Device and so on are maxed.For a Rogue that would be something like a negotiater or spy I would max out the Charisma Based Skills and Sense Motive.For a Rogue as a thug I would max out Initmidate and the combat related skills like Tumble.For a Fighter, Ride is one of the more useful, maybe I would try to spend some cross class skills on Diplomacy (I did this at least once to get rid of the negative Charisma Modifier on these checks) and some ranks in Craft Skills. And so on and so forth. I think you get it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
