Ok, my DM is running a Forgotten Realms campaign, and we're starting at the 3rd level. So I made my character a level 2 rogue/level 1 barbarian. Stat-wise, it looks good(raging sneak attack is teh 1337), but how would you think he would act? How would his rage be triggered(can't stand to see his friends hurt, name insulted, etc.), and how would his slightly barbaric nature infringe on hi rogue levels?

Note: I plan to continue to level as rogue until level 10, when i go to a magic class. Alighnment is Chaotic Neutral.

Fhaffer (sp?) and the Grey Mouser has a good example of a Barb/Rogue archetype; Google it if you're unfamiliar.

Personally, I'd use Rage as an 'OMG I just got caught' fight-or-flight reaction for a character with mostly Rogue levels, on those occassions when his sneakiness fails him. If you went with more uses/day of Rage, you might also try 'sneak-sneak-STAB-RAGE' as a good damage booster against enemies.
