First of all, sorry for my bad English. I am no native speaker and dont have the english version. So hopefully I spell everything right. I build this character a while ago in a slightly different setup. It was made for a persistent world where you cant just bash chest, but have to pick the locks to get good items. So i need quite a lot Rogue levels to get all the skillpoints.

The starting Stats are: Str: 10, Dex: 18, Con: 14, Wis: 8, Int: 14, Cha: 8. all points go to dex when you level up.

So Discipline at Fighter and Cot level and save the rest for rogueslevels.
