Would you kind folks help me build a Halfling Rogue with a the level by level progression and skills? I have roughly made about the same character on a couple of different servers (only 1 got to 40 though), and each time there were mistakes and it could have been made a lot better; in any case I REALLY need some help maximizing the efficiency.
Guidelines: This is a PvE character; there might be a little dueling but only a little. Race is Halfling, I know that humans get an extra feat and every level another skill point, but I really enjoy the Halfling Rogue. The build needs to be playable, so nothing that’s crazy hard until the end when it become s awesome. I think Rogue 35/Fighter 4/Shadow Dancer 1 or another combination very near that. The shadow dancer needs to be taken as early as possible, I am playing on a low magic world where it is hard to get items and almost no one has, however, there is no TRUE SEEING!!!!
The feats I would LIKE to have are:
Two Weapon Fighting Ambidexterity Weapon Focus Daggers Weapon Specialization Daggers Improved Two Weapon Fighting Improved Critical Daggers Dodge Mobility Weapon Fines Toughness Epic Dodge And Self Concealment 5 Epic Weapon specialization (Nice but not critical) Epic weapon Focus (Nice but not critical) Some extra sneak attack dice perhaps
I am not 100% sure that Self Concealment 5 is necessary, but I do want to have it. It is good not to be completely dependant on magic items.
For Rogue abilities: Improved Evasion Defensive Roll Crippling strike And Slippery Mind (not 100% sure on this one)
As far as skills go, Search, Disable device, Pick Pocket, Open Locks, Craft Traps all rather useless here.
When I have done this before I used the starting stats:
If you can come up with better, then by all means PLEASE do!
STATS any mix up with dex =20 . The reason for this is that it gives you more Epic feats since you get DEX =30 much earlier. If you time it right and start with dex 20 you can even get Self concealment 5/Epic Dodge by level 33.
I like this build but it pulls 10 levels of rogue from yours. to get more shadowdancer (gets defensive roll and slippery mind). the extra levels of fighter get you max discipline epic weapon focus/specialisation. You lose 5d6 sneak attack however. If you dont want max discipline you can take a fighter level at a lower level. You can mix the rogue epic feats up a little so that you take criplling strike at the time you take SC 1, or 2 , or 3, or 4.
If you like the build Ill put together the skills for it for you

I think you forgot mobility. _________________ "Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."
I just posted a build on the HotU board in your thread. It's a Rogue 29/FTR 6/SD 5. Check it out Here.
Hope it helps. _________________ "Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!"

Sorry put everything up a feat , take mobility at a lower level. Toughness goes to level 18 where it should be with Improved Evasion.

Also what may be helpful beyond what has been listed here, is go to the builds forum and look in the index topic at the top. You can hit ctrl-f and type in a class or two and seach through builds that way. It is very handy.
