05-06-07, 10:51 AM Ok here is one of My Primary Characters.

Started off as Rogue, and kept taking it for character purposes and cos we had no rogues in the area (hell even the region, I was in Perrenland)

The Character is:

Grey Elf

Stats:

Str: 12
Dex: 17 (lvl 8 stat bump)
Con: 14 (Lvl 4 Stat Bump)
Int: 16
Wis: 8
Cha: 10

Current levels:

1-Rogue1: Quick Draw
2-Rogue2:
3-Rogue3: Weapon Finesse
4-Rogue4:
5-Rogue5:
6-Rogue6: Leadership (needed it to have a first mate)
7-Rogue7:
8-Dread Pirate1: (TWF)

This is what the Character is up to. He currently qualifies on skills for Scarlet Corsair and has Access. Furthermore will get legendary Captain as Regional access once the Ratik metaorg is finished

I am thinking rest of the build as:

9-Scarlet Corsair1: (Improved Feint) <Feat>
10-Scarlet Corsair1:
11-Scarlet Corsair1:
12-Rogue8: Stat Bump - Dex 18 (Improved Uncanny Dodge) <Feat>
13-Rogue9:
14-Rogue10: Crippling Strike
15-Legendary Captain1: (Great Captain) <Feat>

Has a Sneak Attack of 6d6 and LOTS of Skills. Has a BAB of +11/+6/+1 (Just make 3 attacks - 4 with TWF)

Its nowhere near optimal, but the character isn't about that. He has a ship, he has cleric cohort (Procan) first mate, and Is taking Scarlet Corsair cos its a a full BAB class thats extra piratey that gives sneak and a feat, and he is taking the one level of Legendary Captain, for no reason other than its downright cool to be a Dread Scarlet Corsair Legendary Pirate Captain. lol.

Can I get some help for the last three feats though?

And, I highly suggest bookmarking this page, as it has the consolidated lists of feats, spells, PrCs, etc.:

Thanks!

For your level 15 you want that feat : "Savvy Rogue" from complete scoundrel

Simply you will be able to improve your crippling strike.

From the book : " You can deal Strength damage even to a target that is immune to extra damage from sneak attacks."

05-08-07, 01:22 PM That feat is pretty much *the* feat that makes taking Rogue levels beyond about level 3 worth it. It just gets better and better for every 3 levels past 10 that you take.
