| | So would a Rog3/Fight4/RangXX be a good warrior? I mean GOOD...How about a fighter/rogue?  The only thing I want is stealth...now that I come to think of it. And fighter can have LOTS of profiency points and more hitpoints  There´s no point in combining double stealth abilities. A good fighter who can hide in shadows...rogue/fighter?

A good fighter who can hide in shadows...rogue/fighter? | A rogue fighter is actually a very good combo. I'd recommend Rog3/FtrXX, so you'll have the much-vaunted evasion and uncanny dodge, plus a 2d6 sneak attack (and your BAB will only be one behind a straight class fighter). If you're playing human or half-elf and really want to up your melee ability you can make a slight alteration and become a Rog3/Bbn2/FtrXX. The two barbarian levels will give you fast movement (as long as you're in medium or lighter armor), Rage once per day (that can be improved with certain feats) and an uncanny dodge (that will stack with the rogue's to prevent flanking). Since the barbarian and rogue levels are so close you won't get an exp. penalty either. Heh, I think we found a winner. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/winkgrin.gif

| | Rog 3/Bar 2 / Fight XX ...Got it That´ll do but...what about lockpicking and find traps with 3 rogue levels? And what about stealth?

| | Pickpocket and stealth (move silently and hide) are skills, if you only had 1 lvl of rogue you could already max them out like a full rogue.

| | Yep. A Rog3/Bbn2/FtrXX should be able to sneak and steal with the best of them (well, maybe not with the best, but he/she will still be decent at that sort of thing). http://www.highwaygames.com/forum/im...es/biggrin.gif

| | The only disadvantage is not being able to wear armour heavier than leather. But ignore that and you've got a great character

| | | Well a barbarian can wear up to medium armor and still get fast movement (a breastplate is the heaviest medium armor). But for the best results a high Dex character in lighter armor is recommended.

| | | If you're gonna wear medium armour you might just as well take no rogue levels, all the benefits are lost.

| | | Not really. You still get uncanny dodge, plus sneak attack whenever your opponent is denied a Dex bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), like when you flank them. The only real drawlback is that you can't sneak as good (but in 3E you don't necessarily need to be sneaking to use sneak attack) and can't use evasion.
