Hey all!
So I'm trying to make a decent Rogue/Skirmisher focusing on skillmonkey and ranged damage. We're in a dragon-heavy campaign, and I really don't want to try melee range, particularly because my DM loves grapples if he's bigger.
An important note: we're fairly low OP, and tend to stress playing around/character concept over power. I'd like to get a build wrangled together, but I don't want to invalidate the rest of the party.
I'm thinking whisper gnome for race. Other than that:
Level 8, but plans for higher levels would be great.
27,000 WBL granted. I can grab anything from MIC/DMG, other items allowed, pending DM approval. So any particular items to suggest would be appreciated. I was thinking of playing around with repeating crossbow for fun.
Splatbooks are ok, as long as I can find a copy of the text somewhere to show to my DM. I have Complete: Adventurer, Arcane, Warrior, Divine, Scoundrel as hard copies. Anything else will have to be online.
I was toying with the idea of going with a build I found in a rogue handbook
"Swift Ambusher
Rogue 3/Scout 3/Cloistered Cleric 1/Rogue +13
Take Swift Ambusher, Improved Skirmish, Craven, Travel Devotion, and Knowledge Devotion (devotions via cloistered cleric). This gets you 8d6+20 Sneak Attack, 7d6/+7 Skirmish, and 3 rogue Special Abilities. It's a very damaging archer build, with a lot of skill points too."
However, I don't really know how the devotion things work, and I can't seem to find a copy online.
Thanks guys!
