Drow Ranger with rogue spalsh

[kaoslordz]

So I just unlocked my drow and I wanted to make a ranger that was deadly at ranged and was also good at finding and disabling traps and opening locks. Here is my level 5 mock up. Any feedback would be excellent. Also this build is set with weapon fines and rapiers and is sporting enough wisdom to cast some lower level utility spells. Ty in advance!

What do you get from the 2nd level of rogue?

Consider 18 ranger/1 rogue/1 monk

The monk level will give you better saves, a free feat, and widsom to ac bounus.

[Memnir]

My ranger is currently 16 Ranger/1 Rogue. Never regretted not ever taking, nor have I ever needed, another level of Rogue.

However, I am thinking about the Monk level, as suggested above.

[Lleren]

If you are disabling traps in "new to you" content you will need to be at the front of the "most likely" rushing group.
Otherwise you cannot warn them in time to react.

[Nyvn]

Rangers get evasion at lvl 9; so Rogue 2 really only gives you some extra skill points. 1 Monk 1 Feat and Wisdom to ac or 1 Fighter 1 Feat and 1 BAB.

Thank you all for the info. I decided to Go Ranger/Rogue/Monk. Here is what I worked up to level 10. Any further advice would be awsome. Ty again. Again this is a weapon fineness / Arcane Archer build
