#4 LongTimeLurker Nov 16, 2014 23:27:22	Here's hoping all your bbeg's are humanoids!
#5 Yunru Nov 17, 2014 3:59:01	Sorcerer 3/Warlock 2, in that order. Beam spam a go go.

#8 BRJN Nov 17, 2014 10:08:48	The "True Assassin" just starts to function at Fighter2/Rogue3, so that would make a good capstone to your campaign.
#9 steelwulf99 Nov 17, 2014 16:31:45	How about Fighter 1, Rogue 4 (variant human as per most CO builds). Defensive style, a shield, a rapier, and the Sentinel feat. Nothing clever here, just fishing for a chance to use your reaction for an attack. Sentinel + sneak attack synergise nicely. AC is 19: 12 (studded) + 4 (dex) +2 (shield) +1 (fighting style). Add 5 as a reaction if the target you wanted to stab goes for you instead of your friend (from Shield spell, you Arcane Trickster, you). HP is 8+6+5+5+5+15 = 44. Attack is +7 vs AC doing 1d8+2d6+4 (av 15). Can do other stuff too. Voila, a tank-rogue. Apologies for the format, my phone and the forum aren't playing well together.

#11 Coredump00 Nov 18, 2014 9:29:10	Ranger/Rogue archer build.   Probably Ran3/Rog2, but 2/3 works also.
#12 Miladoon Nov 18, 2014 14:08:23	1-Rogue 2-Rogue 3-Rogue 4-Cleric - Trickery 5-Cleric    The plan - Let the other  optimizers, me included, bite off more than they can chew then when the other PCs are all dead, take all their stuff and stealth away. (Fixed )

#14 Miladoon Nov 18, 2014 14:31:27	As you say, a good optimizer can optimize in every instance and not just number porn.  My cleric/rogue is optimized for optimized role play.  Eat more fiber.   Just like to add, that all players, inlcuding optimizers, bite off more than they can chew at times.  Although I commented in jest at the opimizers, I in no way meant that biting off more then you can chew is liimited to just optimizers and that this rogue/cleric would not discriminate if he had to take the stuff off a dead unoptimized party.
#15 Mommy_was_an_Orc Nov 19, 2014 10:07:35	Here's what I'd do: Variant Human: Feat: Alert   Str 8, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 8, Wis 13, Cha 16 Rogue 1: Expertise(4 skills+1 tool) Warlock 1 Warlock 2: Agonizing Blast+Beguiling Influence(+2 skills) Cleric 1: Knowledge Domain(+2 skills+Expertise in them)+Shields, Guidance Bard 1: +1 skill, +1 musical instrument, Prestigitation Okay, so what have we here: You generally go first and can't be surprised 9 skills and 2 tools from class, expertise in 4 of them 7 cantrips including Eldritch Blast and Guidance Access to Bless, Healing Word, Hex A reasonably effective attack - Agonizing Eldritch Blast at 5th for 2d10+10+2d6(Hex) damage, av of 28 Then keep investing in Warlock all the way up for eventual 9th level spells being Tome for Ritual and 10 cantrips total, Devil's Sight for seeing through Darkness, Mask of Many Faces for DIsguise Self at will. Basically, the goal here is that you're about as effective as a Rogue at the Rogue's job, particularly in the early going. Then on top of it, you're a caster.
#16 Yunru Nov 19, 2014 11:48:17	Ah Eldritch Blast how I love thee, making obtaining okay levels of damage a cinche.

#18 Yunru Nov 19, 2014 12:30:31	Eh I just mocked up a Rogue 1/Knowledge Cleric 1/Bard 1/Warlock 2/Lorr Bard 6 Half-Elf. It's not the most optimal with only one ABI by level 8, but it's proficient in basically everything. 10 Str, 16 Dex, 8 Con, 12 Int, 14 Wis, 16 Cha if you're curious as to the starting stats.
