I am in need of a few classes: one that works as a "thug" type charachter.
Someone rough and tough who can take hits, not have to dodge them (higher than a d6).
Also is good with street knowledge and getting info in more than a few ways (6+int skills).
Also is decent at combat, but not a master (3/4 bab)
And is known for dirty fighting, but not as good as a rogue (limited extra damage source of some type)
Anyone worked on something like this before?

This sort of thing can easily be accomplished through fighters with a high dexterity modifier, cross-class ranks in knowledge (local), and weapon focus with a club. I'd just make a fighter with an urban build or something, but as always, Base Classes are fun.

I was actually thinking of making a rougue with a d8 hit die and a bonus fighter feat at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels to replace some of the sneak attack, and some intimidate and gather info bonuses. I was just curious if anyone had thought of anything.

There's a fighter Variant in Unearthed Arcane you could look at. You pretty much get sneak attack instead of fighter feats.

Fighter with Sneak Attack variant (UA) and ask your DM if you can get 6+Int skill points and a decent skill list. As long as you don't add UMD you won't even break tier 5 anyway...

A while back I was working to expand the Fighter feat list. This is one of the feat trees I came up with.

Professional Thug (General Feat)
