Help for a Halfling Rogue.

Post by MollyFlogger42 »

Hey everyone. I need some help with a build. I've never been the best at creating builds or planning one.

I would like to play a Halfling Rogue. I played here about a year ago. Can't remember my login info, but after being gone a year, I'd most likely want to start all over any way. I know I was looking at Rogue/Monk/Fighter, though I cant remember the specifics, progression, or skills.

I would like to be viable in PvE primarily, but able to help in PvP if the situation arises. I also like the idea of setting traps, but any build I come across online seems to forego Discipline in favor of Setting Traps, and I remember being told Discipline is pretty valuable to have.

Any advice would be appreciated. Any detailed planning and progression would be even more appreciated. Thanks!

The Rogue/Fighter/Monk build dual wields kamas for a maximum of 10 attacks per round with flurry of blows and haste. This allows for high sneak attack damage, although you still suffer from some of the typical rogue drawbacks, like low fort and will, HP, and AB. It goes:

Monk 6
Fighter 5
Rogue 19

Pick up all the dual-wielding feats and the prerequisites for epic dodge. Use your fifth fighter level for Epic Weapon Spec: Kama. If you want an extra fighter bonus feat, sacrifice a level of rogue and take 6 fighter. The monk levels will give you improved knockdown.

You want discipline to be maxed out, put discipline enchantments on your gear, and consider taking Epic Skill Focus: Discipline. With enough intelligence (14 or higher) you will probably be able to put some ranks in craft and set trap, enough to get access to deadly electrical trap kits, which do a lot of damage. I don't think this requires you to max them out.
Some builds I've worked on (not recommended):
Charisma Battlecleric
"E-Dodge Brycer"
