New Rogue

[Archmage49]

I've been playing for awhile, a little over a year now, and up until now, been melee classes. But, in the general interests of trying something new, decided to give that rogue thing a whirl. Anyway, on race, debated for a bit, but eventually decided on an elf as race. Thought about drow with the better Int to start, but, really like the elf proficency with longbow. Current stats for this rogue, level 5 assassin build, str 16, dex 26, con 14, Int 19, Wis 18, Cha 10. This includes +2 ship buffs for all but strength, don't use that buff because it has no practical value for me. First two feats I took were TWF and finesse.

Skill wise, I have fairly good skills, MS and hide are highest, mainly due to high dex and AP distribution required for assassin prestige. Disable, open, search, aren't spectacular, but respectable, about 18 all around, with +4 tools, or +5 tools if needed.

Currently wielding twin shortswords, one is Garos Malice, which is just a kickass backstabbing weapon, other is a +1 seeker/pure good. Also have a seeker/PG longbow. Gear wise, well, lol, my alt ran StK a few times and and nailed down some nice stuff, war beads, puzzle cap.

Anyway, wondering how you think she'll shape up, toon name is Caledeni, Sarlona server. Also, for level 6, coming soon, any feat suggestions would be nice.

Oh yes, it has. +1 Damage is nothing to say no to.

For feats, usually one takes PA, ITWF, GTWF, Toughness and improved critical.

Well, we only have a +1 str shrine, and I have 16 strength, so, that one doesn't help. ITWF might be what I'd take at level 6. Toughness is nice, but probably grab it later down the line. Same with PA, since my BAB isn't all that great, don't want to knock it too far down this early.

Wis 18, Cha 10.

Honestly, Wisdom is useless for a Rogue. With a base 8, you can spot anything, and you're not hurting for skills. Swap out whatever Wis item you're using and toss in a Str item. Even as a Dex/Finesse melee, you still need Str to hurt stuff when you hit.

You would have been better off putting a little more into Con and some into Chr. I usually pump my elves to at least 14 starting Con, because of the -2. Charisma skills are important later in the game, when you're relying on UMD to no fail Heal scrolls, and Diplomacy keeps stuff off your head.
