I assume you swap out the Heavy Repeating Crossbow once you get it for free at 12, what would you replace that with?

Don't see stat level ups, I assume all 5 are into Int for damage?

[Baervan]

In my opinion you shouldn't wait until lv 15 to get the rapid shot feat as this is extremely useful (moreso than rapid reload) and also not taking the improved crit: ranged feat after lv 12 will hurt too because burst damage and WoP repeaters are what all the cool kids use.

Me a cool kid?

I am real disabled so my play style is affected by it. And repeaters seemed different at that time.

Can you explain rapid shot vs rapid reload? rapid shot isn't that bow only?

[unbongwah]

Have a look at this thread for repeater rogues. Also have a look at the Deepwood Mechanic build in my sig for a MCed option: less SA DPS & skill pts, more feats, HPs, some other bonuses.

If you want to stay pure, the feats I would go with (in no particular order) are Toughness, Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Rapid Reload, Precise Shot, Imp Prec Shot, and Imp Crit Ranged; on a human you have 1 feat left over for something else.

[Doganpc]

Your weakness will be weakness.

Helpless sucks.

Rapid Shot fires and reloads ranged weapons faster, Rapid Reload reloads faster, but it is crossbow specific.

BTW, repeaters are currently bugged but are supposed to be fixed in U11 (knock on wood).

Here's a somewhat modified version of your build:

I went DEX-based for the extra to-hit; also Power Atk + a DEX-based staff like Nat Gann or Breeze gives you a semi-decent melee fallback. Also note that this build can be accomplished without any tomes.
