1 Rogue is a better choice than 1 Fighter IMO. Even if you don't do traps, it's worth it for UMD, Open Lock, and the 1d6 sneak attack.

Just to expand.

Rgoue 1 is 1d6+3 sneak attack, 36 skill point if taken an lvl 1, 10 skill points if not. UMD, balance, tumble and Intimidate as a class skills. Haste boost.

Fighter is 12 skill point if taken an lvl 1, 4 skill points if not. Indimidate as a class skill. A bonus feat. Haste boost. Toughness I

[gfunk]

I considered a build pretty similar to this one before, but I went 2monk/14 fighter as I didn't like how the hit bonus came out on the x/x/14ranger version (the other difference was that I was factoring in -8 to hit because of warforge power attack).

I always feel that maxing at 28str (30 with bulls) on a strength based ranger type is going to leave a wide variety of (non-favored)enemies that are going to be difficult to hit, especially on a human because they get no racial weapon enhancements (plus you get 1 less favored enemies being a multi class). A fighter with 30 str does much better in terms of his hit bonus because of all the weapon and enhancement bonuses to hit (imo). I know alot of people claim to be fine with 28-30 str on a str based ranger (and I'll probaly get some irate replys saying "I hit just fine with my 30 str ranger ya nub!"), but I think those builds have definite limiations.

I would suggest considering changing the build to elf and use rapiers instead of khopeshs (and get the rapier attack enhancements) or go dwarf w/ dwarven axe enhancemnts. The racial enhancements go a long ways towards making up the difference in dps with the khopesh.

** edit, this is my 500th post.. im now officially a troll i think

[Ryss]

I have to agree with gfunk on this one. I had a capped "exploiter" (str based 14rng / 1mnk / 1rog if you don't know) and found to-hit and AC too low. The exploiter uses dual khopeshes without OTWF yet (-4 to hit right there) and the lack of to-hit made my life miserable. I couldn't use neither power attack nor combat expertise... Ac and DPS suffered as well.

Fighter is 12 skill point if taken an lvl 1, 4 skill points if not. Intimidate as a class skill. A bonus feat. Haste boost.

You’re forgetting Fighter Toughness I.

OP: Why 15 DEX/12 WIS instead of 14 DEX/14 WIS?
