Some final thoughts: You might want to change called shot at level 9 for knockdown. If you feel you can compensate for a low will (because of magic items) feel free to replace Epic Will at lvl 21 with a feat of your choosing.
Finaly it might be better from a role-playing perspective to not take Spell Craft as a skill. If you agree with this, I would suggest Appraise 15 and Lore 25.

Until next time, never underestimate the little guy.

i wouldn't trade knockdown in a rogue build unless the mod i was playing seemed to feature a lot of KD immune baddies. KD gives you a change to sneak, which is important for any rogue build as a way to generate sneaks, especially when you don't have spells or HiPS to help out. In general I would say Take Advantage of KD! but personal choices are always good.

since rogues are those who are skillfull, wouldn't it make sense, rp-wise, that he should try to study the arcane without studying under a teacher, so that UMD and spellcraft make sense? but again, that is just my view.

Another tough melee rogue! Nice job. Heh, on reading your build I was surprised to see no Knockdown/Imp. Knockdown and was already forming my response. But then I reached the bottom of the build and saw your comments on how best to build in Knockdown. I still think this build should definitely have KD and IKD...

Why don't you take Epic Wpn Focus at level 21 (Rogue 5) and then take Epic Wpn Spec at level 22 (Fighter 10)? Otherwise, if you're going to delay Epic Wpn Spec until level 37 I'd consider delaying Fighter 10 until level 40 and end as Rogue 23/Fighter 10/WM 7.

Nice job.

Kaliban.

Thanks.
So ... taking EWF at lvl 21, and EWS at 22 you would also suggest IKD at lvl 37?

When you think about it, is the memory of a real event, any more 'real' than the memory of a fictional event? Are you taking Fighter at 37 to also maximize Discipline? Apparently, so my advice to stop at Fighter 10 (taken at level 22) isn't so hot. In that case, I'd advise sticking with your Rogue 21/Ftr 12/WM 7 build, but do it like this:


1 Rogue 1 Dodge
2 Ftr 1 Wpn Finesse
3 Ftr 2 Wpn Focus, Mobility
4 Ftr 3
5 Ftr 4 Wpn Spec
6 Ftr 5 Spring Attack
7 Rogue 2
8 Ftr 6 Expertise
9 Ftr 7 Knockdown
10 Ftr 8 Imp Knockdown
11 Ftr 9
12 Rogue 3 Whirlwind Attack
13 WM 1
14 WM 2
15 WM 3 Blind Fight
16 WM 4
17 Rogue 4
18 WM 5 Imp. Crit or Imp. Expertise
19 WM 6
20 WM 7

21 Rogue 5 Epic Wpn Focus
22 Ftr 10 Epic Wpn Spec
23 Rogue 6
24 Rogue 7 Great Dex I
25 Rogue 8
26 Rogue 9
27 Rogue 10 Imp. Evasion, Great Dex II
28 Rogue 11
29 Rogue 12
30 Rogue 13 Def. Roll, Epic Dodge
31 Fighter 11
32 Rogue 14
33 Rogue 15 Epic Prowess or Epic Will
34 Rogue 16 Crippling Strike
35 Rogue 17
36 Rogue 18 Great Dex III
37 Ftr 12 Armor Skin
38 Rogue 19 Slippery Mind or Imp Sneak Attack or Epic Skill Focus
39 Rogue 20 Great Dex IV
40 Rogue 21
