The skills you can put into things like Listen and Spot so you don't get surprised. You can do all that in heavy armour. If you want Evasion you are restricted to a mithral breastplate however.The fast movement from the barbarian is a bit of a waste however, until you can afford mithral full plate, but then you can't wear Adamantine and with no DR from the few Barbarian levels you took and the poor Hit Dice from the rogue levels it could hurt.Sneak attack is handy but hardly reliable due to it being situational and lots of critters being immune to it. I question the value of the dip into the Rogue class myself. Being a rogue at first level for a "warrior" role in the party is likely to get you killed, and if you are filling the rogue role in the party and are dumping on Disable Device and Open Locks and the like, then you aren't going to be that popular either. You are +0 BAB at 1st level as well which limits some of the more obvious warrior feats you might want to take.Best is an odd term, by best do you mean offensively (in melee or at range) and by that best damage or best chance to hit? Or best defensively, max hit points or maximum armour or decent saves or best flexibility?Think about what role you need/want to play in the party and work from that.</blockquote>
