03-23-05, 08:39 AM I know you're all probably tired of this, but I'm trying to find a build I can fit into with a rogue and nothing is making me overly happy.

At first I was thinking to just take 1 level of rogue, then 5 of druid and taking master of many forms or something... then I thought 1 rogue, a few ranger, and beastmaster/animal lord, but they all lackedd something I Was really looking for.... the rogueish parts.

So here's my dilemna:

I want a halfling rogue. I'm contemplating the prestige classes of Theif Acrobat and Whisperknife.

I want to be a skill monkey yes, but I also want some melee use and ranged capabilities.

Would it even make sense dipping into theif acrobat? I think that the class is a bit underpowered, but I think it could just be plain fun...

I'm more worried about usefulness in dungeons and adventures rather than just being a melee backup.

I also considered dungeon delver, which sounds neat, but again, not sure what to combine it with synergy wise.

Is there anyway someone can give me a few builds for each variety based on these classes?

a skill monkey
a ranged master
a melee damage dealer

using the above prestige classes or others, but using a base of rogue to start it off, and concentrating on rogue skills and abilities?

03-23-05, 10:04 AM you know... I didnt even think of that....

That may just work lol

maybe instead of halfling, go warforged and make your own gear! lol...

matter of fact, why bother with the rogue at that point, just warforged artificer 20...

By the way, heya Carnivore, ya been quiet on my posts lately, haven't seen any chameleon builds listed....

03-23-05, 11:00 AM for melee damage dealer:
rogue5/fighter2/invisible blade5/rogue6-13
10D6 SA, BaB 16. Go with TWF. For race i suggest whisper gnome (races of stone). Small, +2dex/con, -2cha/str. Better then halfling for the con bonus IMO.

For thrower:
halfling rogue4/swashbuckler3/targetteer (fighter variant)2/master thower5/rogue5-10
Go TWF & throw 18 knives a turn, adding dex & int to damage

For skillmonkey:
strongheart halfling rogue12/paragon3/thief acrobat5
wasn't that sure but i like the acrobat & in the right campaign, taking 10 will make up for the 6 skill points.
