I'm working on a halfling rogue/ranger. Don't have the entire thing worked out, but he's only level 3 right now. I plan on taking the full dragon mark line. It's a 32 point build, so plenty of intel and strength for skill points and melee. (He also ate an intel tome at level 1 to get up to 16) I think the rogue/ranger mix works well cause you really don't HAVE TO HAVE any feats at all to make them workable. That allows you to splurge on the full heal mark without gimping the build. I won't have extend. I won't have both improved crits (i usually take both ranged and piercing with a ranger build). But no biggie. I'll be able to pop paladin sized heals to help keep the melee's on their feet. (and occasionally myself, as well)

Here is one that I put together in game on a whim. In game the character is about lvl 5 right now, but this is the progression I am planning on taking.

The concept is one that I present Sigtrent with for his Request a Build thread. Difference here vs. there is that I am going to take some Dragonmark feats cause I think they are kind of cool. I debated going all the way up to Greater, but since the build is not finese based there was a blank feat in there and figured what the heck. Every now and then you need to shield block a door with casters on the other side, afterall.

The original concept was a Fighter / Paladin / Ranger that uses both longswords and piercing weapons while two weapon fighting. Because I wanted that +1 for the Faith Enhancement, the longsword is required here.

If 20 was available the character would be a Fighter 6 / Paladin 3 / Ranger 11. Giving the character GTWF along with additional feats for Improved Critical Slashing and Piercing.

Here is my try at this. Ignore the skills, after level 4 I was sick of wasting time with all the clicking, and the skills aren't really important to this build. This build gives a fully functional Wizard, with the ability to easily step in as a healer if things go wrong, or you're just sick of waiting on a cleric to start the adventure. You even have a few DVs to boot.

For a halfling ranger/rogue I'd throw in a wiz level to triple your cure spells (has to be done at level 3). You also get a significant amount of extra mana for your buffs.

For the halfling wizard I'd take bard instead of cleric so that you can have max UMD.

High Elf - 1Rogue/13Cleric

Starting Stats (32):
Str - 8
Dex - 10
Con - 12
Int - 18
Wis - 16
Cha - 8

Rogue at level 1. 18 Intelligence will let you keep Disable Device, Open Locks, and Search maxed as you level. Also take Elven enhancement-line for Search since this can be the "toughest" area for rogues.

Feats:
All 3 Dragonmarks
Empower Healing
Mental Toughness

Shadowalk and Invis yourself throughout the quest to remain unnoticed and untouchable to the mobs while healing and buffing your party. The ultimate support class, you can easily take care of any traps/locks besides the Cabal trap as well. Be 95% cleric and solve the need for a trap-monkey easily. Can take 2nd lvl of rogue and get evasion + max spot; but would recommend more points into Dex to take advantage of evasion if this is the case.
