I'm currently playing in a game making a Human Rogue eventually going into master thrower around level 11. The question I'm wondering if do I want to go with one, three, or five levels in the class?
Small breakdown of what I can see so far. Assuming a 20 level game
One level:
Gains: point of reflex, better HD for 1 level, quick draw for free and my first throwing trick (sneaky shot). Level 20 rogue is a dead level
Cons: Weapon focus is a feat that is, well, lacking. A few less Skill points.
Three levels:
Gains: 2 tricks (second trick, palm throw only have a +1 str so trading 1 damage for 1d4 isn't bad). Slightly better HD
Cons: Lose a die of sneak attack (lost special ability is made up for with evasion again for improved evasion) Less skills
Five levels:
Gains Weak spot (touch attacks), improved crit with any weapons I can use tricks with, snatch arrows, 16 BAB at 20) 1 better reflex save. Slightly better HD.
Cons: Lose 2 die of sneak attack 2 special abilities (technically 1 due to evasion again from MT). Skills again.
