#1 Pillowattack Feb 12, 2015 8:04:23	Hi Guys! I'm fairly new to DnD, but am now in a couple campaigns and joining a third soon. I am planning on playing a character loosely based off of one of my favorite books, Locke Lamora from the Gentleman Bastards series.   He is a Thief and Con Artist by trade, posing as a Actor, Priest, Nobleman, etc. when needed. He can also hold his own in a fight and has had a bit of training an experience.   I'm thinking of options for how to multiclass this, and don't have any experience doing so yet.   My plan right now is to either go Rogue/Bard or Fighter/Rogue/Bard. My emphasis will be on the Rogue side, and I'm thinking of just taking a max of 2 levels fighter and 4 levels Bard.   I rolled for stats and did fairly well - 16, 15, 15, 11, 9, 7 I was thinking Human Variant would go well since I could bump those 15's up and grab a feat that I'd likely be missing later. Thanks!

#3 Pillowattack Feb 12, 2015 8:45:20	Yeah, like I said "loosely based".  You'd have to try pretty hard to make yourself irrelevant in combat.
#4 Eggnogfool Feb 12, 2015 10:09:08	Well, I'd go lore bard at least out to 5.  Hard to say on thief subclass, thief seems obvious but assassin is really the disguise/impersonate subclass (and trickster complements your spell casting).  Charlatan for sure tho.  Actor feat as a variant human maybe.  If reliable skill works as I remember, your minimum deception and persuasion modified rolls in such a build are 29ish at high level (10 + 12 expertise+ 5 ability modifier + peerless or something).
