    Default Dragonmark halfling assassin, advice wanted

    Due to some of the great feedback i got, I have modified my build,

    ***Modifications include:
    -Bumping back TWF line
    -Replacing one toughness feat with PA
    -Nimble Fingers removed due to one less feat
    -Taking one less fighter level
    -Others...

    Yes, Halfling Guile stacks with SA.

    Nimble Fingers is a waste of a feat. Take something else, like Improved Critical or Power Attack.

    Similarly, I think taking Toughness twice is kind of a waste. Again, one of the two above feats would serve you better.

    Thinking about it, Skill Focus: UMD might also be a decent fit since your Cha is kind of low. On a similar note, so is your Wis. Some players may not care, or may feel that min/maxing removes the need for it, but I prefer having a 10 or 12 Wis on my rogue-types, as Will saves hurt (may want to really consider Slippery Mind over Skill Mastery, and earlier) and Spot checks, if you care about them, tend to want max ranks, the best item you can get your hands on, and a decent Wis.

    does power attack stack with subtle back stabbing?
    also, what kind of weapons should I use? I was thinking piercing weapons (rapiers short swords), but are slashing weapons(i dont get proficiencies until the first lvl of fighter...) better?

    and regarding the Wis aspect, i have decided to lower dex to 16 and raise wis to 10, would that help a bit?

    Not really sure what you mean by stack in this case. Power Attack will raise your base damage, while Subtle Backstabbing will treat your damage as a percentage less. So in that sense they should stack, but it's not a direct sort of thing the way stacking is usually discussed.

    Well, with the fighter levels you'll have access to scimitars and kukris, which are a better combo than rapiers and shortswords, so I'd probably go slashing.

    Not sure yet, as I haven't grabbed PA on my rogue yet (in a level or two), but I'd assume you can.
