However, it has the following prerequisites:* Evasion* Balance 8 ranks, Climb 8 ranks, Jump 8 ranks, Tumble 8 ranksRangers get Evasion eventually (9th level), but Balance and Tumble are cross-class skills for them, meaning they cannot get those ranks until 16th level. Would it really be somehow morally superior for me to wait until 19th level to have the basic abilities I wanted just to preserve the sanctity of not multiclassing?If it was possible to build the character I wanted without multiclassing, I would have been happy to do so. What would you suggest to swap out? I don't particularly want Favored Enemy, and would happily trade that whole tree for Evasion at 5th and to have Balance and Tumble as class skills -- but I expect that somebody who proposed that change would probably get slapped with the "powergamer" label too (especially since the character starts play at 10th).I already took three levels of Rogue, fully knowing that I would rarely-or-never use half of the class's capabilities because it was not in this character's nature to do so. If shooting myself in the foot mechanically is making a suped-up character, I'd hate to see a gimped one. Tell you what, I'll build a dwarf ftr/bbn with Str 20 and Cha 6 who dual-wields keen dwarven waraxes -- then you can give me grief about powergaming all you want. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I tried that, actually, but it doesn't really solve the problem. Scouts don't get Evasion until 5th, so I have to go pure Scout to get to Thief-Acrobat, thus losing the Animal Companion.Hmm ... maybe. I'll look into that!
