I figure wizard 3 would be nice for the 2nd lvl spells. Keeping that in mind I hope you wonderful people can figure something out. Stats: str 15 dex 20 con 14 int 17 wis 9 chr 7 Rogue 1 race elf Feat Improved Initiative ONLY CORE BOOKS are to be used. I am looking to roleplay an archer rogue but shoot from the shadows type. Any suggestions would be great. Oh yeah no SD either.

[Those arcane archer levels would be as early in the build as you qualify for them]. The nice thing here is imbue arrow, which I think is the only worthwhile ability the Arcane Archer has. You end up with 8th-level spells, so you can imbue reverse gravity, cone of cold, prismatic sphere, etc. into your arrows from the shadows. You end up with some decent sneak attack dice, too. Anyway, just a thought using core 3.5 only.

I'm playing (the extrem-multiclassed) Half-Elf: Fighter 2 (Feats and BaB) Monk 1 (WIS to AC, improved unarmed attack) Wizard 1 (1st Level Spells) Rogue 3 (2d6 sneak, Evasion, uncanny dodge, Skillpoints) Shadowdancer 2 (improved uncanny dodge, darkvision, hide on plain sight, ...) Arcane Archer 2 (and going up to 10 at 19th level). I know it's a lot of classes, but i rolled *fantastic* attributes, and why wear armor if you can add a +3 WIS Bonus to AC? Rogue 6 / Sorcerer 4 or Rogue 3 / Shadowdancer 2 / Fighter 1 / Sorcerer 4 could be a more solid build. Arcane Trickster is nice for "Thief" builds that disable traps, magicaly open doors and turn the group invisible, but not for a Raned-Combat Build... too low BAB, too low HitDice...
