[QUOTE="Jdvn1, post: 2371751, member: 26424"] Sure thing. I'll try to not use those books [i]too[/i] much as I don't want to bog you down. Sounds great. :) I like all of these ideas, really. At first I was thinking Rogue (for Underworld or Peasant Hero or Slave)... but well, what I do is come up with ideas and then try to find a way for it to work mechanically. As a Rogue I think my main class ability, Sneak Attack, would be pretty useless. I couldn't ever flank and denying my opponent his Dex is tough. I could do it with a Bluff check (to Feint), but that'd mean that I could only ever have one attack per round (Improved Feint lets you do it as a move action). There's a prestige class that would let me do it as a Free Action (Invisible Blade, [i]Complete Warrior[/i]), but the prereq's for that class are considered kind of messed up (it's not a ranged PrC, but it requires PBS and Far Shot), so then to make it a decent build, I'd have to take Master Throw (again, PrC from Complete Warrior). Which is a neat build, but I thought it was probably too much supplemental information and I wanted to narrow my usage of books a bit more. My current ideas are mostly high Dex... -A Ranger or Barbarian (a nonstandard Barbarian, having a decent Int) for Forgetfullness or Peasant Hero (although the Bbn could be good at Slave too). -A Bard or Bard/Fighter for Peasant Hero or Slave (maybe focus on using the whip or alternate between whip and rapier). -Fighter or Paladin/Fighter (if you let me multiclass between the two, or if I can take the Eberron feat that allows it) for Squire (although now that I think of it, Ninja or Ninja/Fighter could be cool for this too). Really, I like all three of those ideas and could go in a couple more directions, even. The last two ideas are probably favorites by a slight margin. Any comments/recommendations/ideas? These ideas aren't very strong casters because I think a d4 HD would be very bad in this sort of game, although I could be convinced to try it or to try a divine caster. [/QUOTE]
