03-25-07, 12:53 PM I have already looked through all the rogue handbooks and many threads and i still can't decide on a good feat.

I have dodge and after giving myself two flaws, mobility and x.
I can't think of any other good one for x.

Any help will be appreciated.

03-25-07, 01:00 PM It's not flashy, but Improved Initiative is hard to beat. Going first means that you can hit the enemies while they are flatfooted.

Or you could, you know, not take that extra flaw. ;)

(I want the extra flaw because it's much more fun to roleplay with them :) )

03-25-07, 01:06 PM My Rogue is taking combat feats early so I might not have the best advice (or perhaps better advice since you seem to be aiming for bad advice).

Maybe Combat Expertise for something core?
I like Improved Initiative suggestion though.

my vote goes to not taking a flaw, and just roleplay the trait anyway.

03-25-07, 10:27 PM If you have Dodge & Mobility why not take Spring Attack. You can move in and out of combat, negate AOO from reach and make the fighter move to you futher negating full round attacks at you.

Baron RodYou need a Base Attack of +4, so no dice until level 6 for a Rogue.

03-26-07, 07:05 AM Champions of ruin has the craven feat, which gives your sneak attack +HD damage, but you take a penalty on fear-saving throws.

You can also consider the TWFing feat tree if you plan on being in combat often enough.

Wouldn't work at level 1, but it could be nice later...
