+1 Attack or Rogue 20

[smodge13]

With mod 6 upping the level cap to 16, i need to now think on the future of my rogue.
pen and paper it is generally accepted that to optimize a rogue there is 1 key thing you must always do, Reach a BaB of 16 so that you gain your 4th attack.
To reach BaB 16 a rogue needs to multiclass 4 levels into a full BaB class.
This Leaves: Pally, Ranger, Fighter, Barbarian.
Unfortunately there is 1 problem, we don't know what rogue 20 will get us, we know it means 2d6 sneak attack and 1 more special ability, personally i'm going to look at how the enhancements go, but i know one thing, i won't be leveling my rogue above 16.

Just wondering others thought's on the subject.

well, my rogue already has 4 levels into full BAB classes (10rog/2pal/2ftr), so my question to myself is whether to push to fighter 4 for Superior Two Weapon Fighting..

I'm actually thinking of taking Pal3 at 15, Rog11 at 16, then taking Fighter for 17-18 and rogue for 19-20. That would put me at 13rog/4ftr/3pal and net me STWF at 18, fear/disease immunity, and 2 rogue abilities (probably Improved Evasion and Defensive Roll)

Well since in DDO you receive your 5th attack at BaB 15 (instead of 4th at 16...) unless there are some drastic changes to melee combat a pure rogue will have just as many attacks/sequence as a 16rogue/4XXXXX, its not quite the same as what your looking at.

My rogue will be 14rogue/2ranger at 16. If we ever get to 20, prolly 16rogue/2ranger/2fighter.
