My main is a halfling rogue, and I am pretty happy with him. I have made several attempts at doing better, and have always ended up deleting them.

It seemed that whenever I went to roll a new rogue, everyone else was rolling a new rogue. So my rogue wasn't in demand. Well right now, people have pretty much stopped making rogues. Ironically, with the search difficulties finally brought back in line after the disastrous (For rogues) Module 3.3, a non-drow/elf rogue has a chance of making the grade again!

Making a rogue can be a real drag. especially before you can get the Weapon Finesse feat at level 3! You pretty much whiff your rapier in the air while the mobs tear you up on anything other than normal. For this build, I decided I wanted some strength, as well as decent dex, and more than the minimum intelligence.

Because mithril body is equal to mithril breastplate, I didn't build him to eventually be able to run in robes. Because he isn't a high dex race, he couldn't be expected to get 32 dex anyway. Still he will get to 28 just fine, and making use of the Mithril Fluidity feat twice, he will better AC than most robe wearing fleshies.

Though I normally hate starting a rogue with less than 18 dex, I have no problem making an exception here to get my other stats the love they deserve. A 12 starting constitution, ending up at 14 before items makes this rogue among the heartiest of the breed. 13 strength has meant being able to pick up +1 strength bracers, and doing damage in the early quests... even on elite!
