12-09-04, 02:51 AM If you swap out a rogues sneak attack for bonus feats as per the variant on pg 58, can you multiclass this variant rogue with fighters... I cant see any reason (according to the rules) why a person couldnt. If so, a 6th level character who has 2 levels each of fighter, var. rogue and psychic warrior would have 6 bonus feats! That is an insanely powerful combo for any build. If for some reason you wanted more bonus feats, just keep increasing your fighter levels or your rogue levels (and gain a few special abilties instead of increased BaB).

12-09-04, 02:57 AM I've always looked to the Sneak Attack Fighter and Rogue multi-class. That's +2d6 at second level. Take third level as Sneak Attack Thug variant (that's +3d6 at third level).

12-09-04, 04:10 AM I was looking at it the other way as being a Feat Engine. 6 Bonus feats at 6th level, 3 regular feats plus racial feats. Adding in 3 levels of racial paragon (human) and perhaps even racial paragon (half-elf) only sweetens the deal, not so much because they increase feat aquisition any more than taking another 2 levels of fighter, but because they grant other abilities in addition.
