help with first rogue1/ranger19 empest build

[hockeyrama]

I like to be able to do traps if possible on most buids so I not need to wait for a rogue in groups and can do them. I started this character on a new server and he is at 1/1. So the first two levels are already set the way in the builder. I need advice on which feats to take at what level and which favored enemies. Also could use some advice on enhancements if you see anything that can be fixed.

i have played a lot of builds like this. and i want a build like that my self.

TWF khopesh from what i hear is great. i choose scimitar for elfs though. human khopesh.

if you want rogue it would be good too choose two levels for evasion. but instead of 19 in ranger. 18/1/1 ranger/rogue/fighter. taking a level in fighter instead of ranger(im pretty sure) will give you an extra feat improved critical or TWF defense. or something. not sure.

but your build looks good. i would just suggest 18/2 ranger rogue. if your taking rogue. if not. 18/2 rogue/fighter for getting woop ass status with khopesh

9 levels of ranger gives evasion.

[beatles42o]

i forgot about that. then 18/1/1 RNG/ROG/FTR sounds decent. any extra crit with khopesh is worth it in my eyes

[hockeyrama]

ok, so first:
if I went 18/1/1 then when would I take the fighter level?
Alos, since a bastard sword has more damage base then would it not be better to take it instead of knopesh. I know the improve crit doubles the range and witht the 1 fighter level I can add the figher critical accuracy. Just wondering if anyone has done the numbers for a character that can increase the crit range only by a bit as oppossed to other builds which may make it bigger.

[hockeyrama]

also if I get an extra feat given what I have taken so far what would be the recommended one?

[FluffyCalico]

Would be better to go 18/1/1 where the last one is not fighter but monk as then you not only get the extra feat like you would from fighter but also +2 all saves and +wisdom modifier to ac.
