Didn't go too high in Rogue because he doesn't have much SA. Though Reliable Talent at 11th and Slippery Mind at 16th would definitely fit. The Imposter talent for Assassin works but he's such a klutz in combat that the rest made no sense. Covered it with the Actor feat. Originally was Rogue 4, but expertise in Stealth and Perception seemed to make sense.

Spell-less Bard, especially Lore, is giving up a lot. So I gave a ton of extra "bard-like" feats. Other feats I considered for him were Dungeon Delver (to handle traps quickly) and Alert.

Not going to combine this with anything above to point in any direction, but I avoided spoilers for book 3.

And Rake's something like a 7th rank Seguleh (sp??). An excellent swordsman, though far from the best.

He's the 7th only because he got frustrated by them, as he saw it, randomly attacking him for no reason. Even now they feel offended he's never claimed his mask. He held his own against Traveler(won't spoil who he really is for people who may not be that far through the series) one of the greatest swordsmen in the current age. That's why I feel he needs more fighter. I do agree though about the warren magic and warlocks. I'm going to try stating out a few of the Bridgeburners later tonight.
