    Default 2 rogue worth it?

    Is it worth it to take 2 levels of rogue for evasion (do not have monk available) or better to go 20 Favored Soul?

    Neither is "better", they both have strong bonuses.

    20 FvS gives:
    1 level 8 spell, 2 level 9 spells
    245 more spellpoints....plus some extra from the +2 of the capstone.
    10 DR that realistically no monster will be able to break
    Capstone spell.
    +1 Fort/Will save
    2 more points of spell penetration
    +1 BAB (which means you'll hit 15, and the next attack speed breakpoint, a level of rogue will deny this)

    2 Rogue gives:
    Evasion
    Rogue skill bump, and access to rogue skills (how good this is depends on when you take that rogue level. If you don't start it at level 1, it's only going to be a very meager benefit)
    Rogue weapon proficiencies (which actually is not a benefit at all if you're drow...)
    Rogue Dex I
    Rogue Haste Boost I
    Rogue Sneak Attack Training I
    Rogue Sneak Accuracy I
    Rogue Trap Lore I (which would stack with the FvS resistance feats, and with spells/items)
    1d6 in sneak attack damage

    It's up to you which of those two lists is more valuable to you.

    20 FVS way better, unless you have a desire to do traps. Not sure if a Ring of Evasion exists in this game, but it should and there ya go Evasion.

    Don't let him kid you, 20 Favored Soul is better.

    Yea,on anything other than a brand new toon, straight 20 fvs is better.
    Taking 2 rog just for evasion isn't really worth it.
