a new direction

[CSFurious]

i think the stats on a rogue should be balanced

but, the more hitpoints that a rogue has the better IMO

i tried them all, i.e., races, & my dwarven rogue is my best yet, very survivable with 185 hitpoints at level 10

You want something different?!
A rogue that cannot disable traps......
Use all your great points for something else and free your self from using resources to be a trap monkey.

I've thought about a maxed Cha rogue....highest UMD I can get....and using other Cha stats. Intimidate, Diplomacy, Haggle...

An all dex TWF is an ovious choice. Max out that neak attack and get puncturing rapiers....or something similar.

Max out tumbling and actually try to find creative ways to use is.

I don't see the point of high strength or HP rogues.....

A rogues strengths are his skill points, evasion, and sneak attacks.
He should use light armor or no armor.....so he should have a high dex.
I believe the way to max our sneak attack damage is to max the number of crits you can do......so shoose weapons and feats to get the most crits.
Many special purpose weapons depend on crits, so try to aquire them to maximise this strength.

The rest is choose some skills to max out and put into heavy use......

I think that's all you can do with a pure rogue.....you can multi class with a lot of different classes, but then i would argue you are no longer a rogue after a certain point.
