human first life rogue: The Stunt-double aspirant

[MalarKan]

hello everybody! well, out of boredom i started thinking on how to modify my current muti TR rogue build to make it fit in a -sort of- viable build for a first lifer. So, its basicly a Two Handed fighter human pure acrobat, with just enough dexterity and intelligence tonot get negative bonuses, while having a high strenght and constitution to make them have some sinergy towards epic levels, thinking into take 'Overwhelming criticals' and 'Epic toughness'.

If you pay attention, most of the taken skills were maxed out their ranks at level cap, except 'Jump' and 'Tumble', because, since both skills cap at 40, full ranks were not needed, so their skills progression was "shared" while leveling untill reached level 7, where a +2 int tome allowed spending skill points in both skills normally since level 8.

As you can see, this build will require +2 tomes in order to be functional specially in Strenght, Constitution and Intelligence.

The Ability raise was intended to put 3 points in Str' and 2 into Con', so the first would reach 23 base (18 + 2tome +3 raise) and 21 the second (16 + 2tome +2raise). Yes, constitution is only at 20, while requiring 21 for 'Epic toughness'... all it takes is the epic Ability raise at level 24 to reach it.

Alright, cant think on anything else for an introduction, so ill leave you with the specific details. Hope you like it ^^

So, in the end this is another human rogue that can use Haste + Damage boosts 7 times per rest, also has a little utility since it manages to make fit 'Wrack Construct III' since it can be helpful battling many of those machines arround, including portals (specially portals! ).

*NOTE : this build originally tries to make fit Bluff AND Intimidate skills maxed at level cap, which both can be very helpful in various situations, like taking agro off of the healer or the tank in Lord of blades or anywhere... but since i wanted to adecuate the build for first lifers intimidate couldn't fit :< ... so this Stunt-man aspirant wont be so effective in taking the damage that the lead actor would potentially get :>

Take care all, cheers!

**NOTE: for experienced players, Intimidate CAN fit, if you manage to "share" the skills progression while leveling while getting rid of 'Spot' (thats why i mentioned experienced players ) . Can have 'Intimidate' be maxed out each level until cap while sharing the skills progression between 'Jump, spot and Tumble'. Also, depending on game styles could even get rid of Hide and Move Silently. I maxed those 2 because i know how fun and helpful it can be when everybody in the party died and the rogue has to be the Boat-man with their whole party in his/her backpack.

thats it
