"Rochanter" Drow Warchanter Rogue

[Niclos]

I have been seeing alot of new players wanting to know about a good bard rogue build. If I were to build another bard or rogue I would be tempted to make this one. It is built according to how I would play it and somewhat dependent on all the gear I have lying around(+2 tomes) tied in with some raid gear to be a viable end game character. A few key points evasion, 3d6+6 sneak attack, ac/save song, and max damage songs for a split bard. Skills focused on umd, balance, perform, concentration, disable, and search. This build would still be viable without the tomes but might be a hard one to level ,,,people have somehow leveled much worse. A lightning strike repeater could be an option instead of twf, itwf, gtwf, Heavy repeater, rapid reload, point blank shot, since the hps are a little low. Enhancements and ability points could be adjusted to your playstyle, but the 14 int by level 2 makes the 6 core skills maxxed. I also recommend drow or other 32 point character options( human khopesh or rapier with an improved critical stuck in there, dwarf dwarven waraxe, halfling guile, wf pa, elf scimitar) before jumping into a build like this. There is no improved critical in here due to the low hd of both builds and opting for a toughness feat intead. Enjoy
