[QUOTE="Abraxas, post: 5631491, member: 1266"] I am currently playing an epic level rogue. As the result of a recent foray into Hell he has approximately 700,000 gp burning a hole in his pocket and an inferiority complex. The majority of the time I was unable to get combat advantage on any opponent after the first round. This was due to a combination of creatures that couldn't be flanked or could see invisible or had auras that stunned, forced movement, removed characters from play and the fact that our controller PC was killed and the player replaced him with an infernal pact githyanki warlock who is focused on single target damage (he also seems to always have combat advantage due to concealment, always has temporary hit points - and has more hit points than any other character except the dragonborn fighter, and has defenses higher than our defenders) So to that end can anyone suggest somethings I should acquire (given a 700,000 gp limit) to either boost damage, help me get combat advantage, or lay on status effects that will help me and the rest of the party - we are currently resting in the City of Brass and the DM is allowing us to spend our cash. Just for additional info - my character summary is below...
