Has anyone successfully played a barbarian/rogue multiclass character? Any advice for such a challenge? I know you can't use tumble while raging (which sucks), but you can use jump and balance to get around those monsters for flanking and all. And it says you can use all feats except Combat Expertise and metamagic feats, etc. so you could still get your dodge AC up pretty high. I guess one of the big questions would be if you could deal sneak attack damage while raging if you were flanking or had first init. Also, (since barb special abilities shadow some of the rogues, like uncanny dodge, etc.) it would seem to make sense to take, say, 10 levels of Rogue, one level of Barb, and take the rest of your 'barb' levels in the Champion of Gwynharwyf PrC from The Book Of Exalted Deeds (which has the prerequisite of the Righteous Wrath exalted feat, which allows you more control/clear-headedness in your rage anyways). Some duelist levels (PrC from DMG 3.5) would add to your grace as well (plus the INT bonus to AC). It seems that this would be a pretty powerful character (assuming you could do sneak attack damage), especially with a CG halfling, who's nickname would OBVIOUSLY be "The Whirling Little Rage-Devil of Righteousness". What do you guys think? And would other PrCs work better than the ones I've listed? -Jim.
