Can you hit well? YesDo you avoid AC targeting attacks well?  YesDo you soak damage well?  NoMost monsters at that level have a +3 to +4 attack, so a 20-25% chance to hit, and it will take 1-3 average hits (depending on the enemy) to knock you out.Out of combat focus is also limited to either generalization (+3 max on any skill check) or focusing on social skills.It isn't a horrible way to build a character, but it is a very specific niche you'll be filling with it.</blockquote>
