Tribal barbarian 5/rogue 25

I know, I know! It sounds AWFUL.

But I was thinking with some summoning scrolls you'd have enough distractions for guaranteed sneak attacks.

Could it be done?

Two level 5 tribals are going to be completely worthless, are you under the impression they scale with character level instead of barb? I don't think it's worth bothering with unless you have a meme reason or some angle I'm not seeing.

Lmao

I literally drunk posted this last night.

My thought process was using tribal barbarian as the 5 level discipline dump/BaB filler class in the way you'd normally use fighter or something else, and using them as disposable distractions to make scoring sneak attacks easier.

With a sober mind this is actually a pretty terrible idea.

You could do a heavy barbarian with rogue levels for something similar and actually playable. 21 barb/9 rogue? I don't know how great it would be but seems functional and sounds like a fun concept maybe. 5d6 sneak attack ain't bad
