I'd like to build a petal rogue. Probably archery based, unless someone has a good way to get around the 0' reach. I have the opportunity to add on another +1 LA worth of templates. Any suggestions? These have already been banned:

Shadow
Lolth Touched
Farspawn
Dragonspawn

Or you could just wield a reach weapon.

Dark creature. Even more silly bonuses to Hide, plus HiPS.

Seconded. It's excellent for rogues with LA to spare.

As far as I know a reach weapon just doubles your reach, now it's been a while but IIRC 0x2=0.

If you are a Tiny creature wielding a reach weapon, you threaten adjacent squares. It is a specific exemption (mostly because a Tiny creature's reach is technically 2.5', rounded down to 0, so if you go 2.5*2=5 before rounding down...).

As far as +1 templates...see if your DM will let something like aasimar or tiefling be a template instead of a creature. It makes more sense anyway. If so, I recommend chaond from MM-II for thematic purposes.

Dark, from Heroes of Horror, is a +1 LA template that nets you a +10 to your speed, a bonus to hide, and the real kicker, Hide in Plain Sight.

It's from Tome of Magic (and I think Anauroch?). Its parent template, Shadow, is from Lords of Madness (and maybe MotP).

Thanks, folks. I think Dark is in fact a clear winner. Although the image of a half-minotaur petal will haunt my dreams tonight. :smallamused:

You're right, oops!

Your DM is letting your play a Cohort? Petals have LA for Cohorts only not PCs. But if he is awesome.
