[QUOTE="questbreaker, post: 3741027, member: 51440"] EDIT: formerly called "need assassin advice, TPK expected". It has sense polymorphed into an interesting discussion on whether survival alone is a suitable goal for PC's. Read a Few Posts Below: ===================================================================== ive got an upcoming game in a few days, and im expecting it to be a brutal dungeon crawl that will most likely become a TPK swiftly. i need advice on how to survive so this game will last more than 2 hours. heres the details: expected level 10 roll stats (havent done it yet) all 3.5 acceptable, except psionics specific campaign settings (eberron / FR) are frowned upon (frowned upon means accepted, but generally provokes DM wrath via enemies "rolling" a supernatural amount of "natural 20's") im looking at making a rogue 5 / assassin 5. this is my first attempt at a character like this, so im looking for advice on how to increase its survivability. i plan to confer my sneak attack damage to the enemy via bow / xbow. also of particular note is that rogue 5 gives me uncanny dodge, and assassin 5 gives me uncanny dodge (again) as well as improved uncanny dodge. i am looking for a way (via unearthed arcana or complete mage [but im AFB right now]) to trade one of my overlapping uncanny dodges for something else, so i am not wasting a class ability. any ideas?
