Fighter/Rogue build request

[Blackwatch]

Also... would love to figure this one out... I keep trying, but just can't crunch the numbers right. Guess I just don't know enough of the tricks to make it all flow together.

Fighter/Rogue.

Fully trained in Search, Spot, Disable Device, OL, UMD.
Feats up to Greater TWF + Improved Critical - Piercing.

Other than that, minimal levels in rogue. While rogue is by far my favorite class, it just doesn't pay off in most group's eyes as more than a trap monkey. So, I guess that this would be the viable alternative.

I don't have platinum or gear to work with, but have unlocked drow. Though I am open to biding my time and working on getting 32 pt build unlocked and saving some coin/items.

I guess that this is the time to work on it, since mod 6 is supposed to give some good rogue lovin'.

Anyone have a build on hand that would fit the bill?

Thanks.

Might want to define what you mean by "fully trained" in the rogue skills. With decent int you should be able to keep those skills maxed, even with very few rogue levels (taken at strategic levels). It's deciding what level of enhancements you want for them that dictates how many rogue levels you will need. So, by "fully trained", do you mean - chance of success on every trap, guaranteed never to blow a box, including or excluding the Cabal trap on elite, etc.

I just ran this through the character creator real quick as a pure drow rogue. The level cap is increasing very soon and at 15 a pure rogue will be able to take greater two weapon fighting as they hit bab 11 at 15.

Just maxed out some typical rogue skills, nothing fancy. For a first timer this is a pretty easy build to deal with IMHO. Have fun prancing about in your robes.

Ahh, I see what you mean... that does make it a bit harder to define. I'll have to delve more into it all and find what the requirements for the enhancements are and what numbers I would need to reach whatever that goal is. Honestly, I just don't know.

I was just figuring that the issue of rogues not being the most welcome addition to groups might have been debated and combated by multi class builds, and the most successful ones were still available somewhere, but just lost from the board wipe.

I'll think on it, read a lot, and see what I need to know to make the choices you brought to my attention.

Many thanks.
