Ideas for TWF TR

[mcostich]

I'm looking to TR my Ftr 20 and am planning to keep him a Halfling. No real reason other than I enjoy the little guy beating up the bosses.
I'm just looking for some ideas on how to plan his next life. I haven't done any multi-classing and was thinking of trying that. I already have a pure rogue.
I've got two completed greensteel Khopeshes on him, plus Madstone boots and a Bloodstone.
Should I go pure Ftr or Barb, or try a 12/6/2 build? I don't have Monk as an option right now.

You just have no faith in your guildies huh!

Remember this. Halflings... RULE!
I like my halfling barb with evasion. Halflings have good saves naturaly, and you can boost it further. A super high hp stalwart defender would be fun too.
A big powerfull looking horc and a cute halfling stand next to each other. Horc barb with 800hp, the tiny halfing with 1200.

im pretty fond of the 12 barb/ 7 rog/ 1 ftr split, its fun, and feel pretty interesting. Good bit higher DPS than a normal 20 assuming you dont have aggro.

Was thinkin about the same thing. Unfortunately this built wont work. The Barbs and the Rogues main sources of damage cancel each other out. Rouges rely on sneak damage which involves avoiding aggro. Barbs use their rage as main source to boost their damage. When you are raged you cannot use the threat reduction enhancement which will effectively cause you to draw aggro pretty soon given the massive amount of damage you deal. This will cancel any sneak damage.

The only workaround for this to my mind is a radiance weapon which blinds the target. But then Rogues are also nice for their self-buffing (UMD) abilities. Cant use them either when raged.

So to me this sounds good on paper but wont really work. Trying to play a 18/2 Barb/Rogue right now for some pre-figt self-buffs and evasion. Still only @ level 7 so no evasion yet... Still pretty feat starved built.

Just to go against the grain here, maybe Ranger[something]/Fighter[something else]? I've had a lot of fun with an 18R/2F Dwarf - simple, lots of feats, free TWF, self-buffing, self-healing. Halfling w/Khopeshes could be fun as well.
