I'm looking for a viable rogue build. Realistically, I'll probably do rogue 13 so I can grab two rogue bonus feats. On the other hand, I'd like to be able to put out my fair share of DPS, as well. I've seen a few good builds around the forums, but a lot of them are optimized for 32 point buy (which I don't have yet, unfortunately), and are usually 16 level (or less) builds.

I do have drow available to me, though not monk or warforged.

Going to be working with a smaller party often, so being diverse is a benefit. We have a healer and a tank, so basically, I'd like to be able to make sure I can disable, open lock, search, et cetera, along with a reliable UMD so I can provide some backup to the healer (and maybe some battlefield control). Also, as I said, being able to max out damage would be beneficial as well.

I'm guessing I'd probably do something like 13 rogue / 6 ranger / 1 *. Not really sure what would be the best addition as a third class. I would think monk, as I've seen in a lot of other builds here, but, I don't have access to monks yet. I've though about changing out ranger levels for fighter levels, for the extra hit points and feats, but the feats would be put into two weapon fighting, and I think I'd probably lose out on UMD/DD/OL/Search, et cetera. And again, I'd have to meet dex requirements. Not sure whether to do a dex or a str build. Split down the middle? No idea.

Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thank you,
Jorlain

I threw this together to see what I could do with Rogue 14 / Ranger 6. It's not horrible. It does suffer from poor saves, however. Then again, this is without gear, since I'm not really knowledgeable enough to really know what I should be looking for, and typically harvest whatever I can find from drops / auction. It does also suffer from lack of hit points, which can be a problem. I'm thinking I might be able to steal 2 points from dex to throw at con. Though, with a +6 item at level 20, that'd be another 60 hp which would help out a bit. Anyone have any input on how a build like this might stack up against others, once geared with like equipment?
