Hello, I'm very new to D&D and creating my first character (joining an in progress party). I'm playing as a Gnome (-2 Str and +2 Con) and the party needs a rogue so that's what I'm going for. We use the 32 point buy system for ability points and I'll be starting out at level 3.
I've been told the level progression is extremely slow (they've been playing for a year and are half way to level 4), so this will affect my decisions as well.
My current plan is to take Rogue 1-3 to get sneak attack x2, but I'm not sure if I want to stay Rog the whole time or dip into other classes (Bard and Ranger are my higher candidates). I plan to have a Riding Dog as a companion as well.
I'm limited to the resources available, I can only use the Players Handbook (1st only) and the Dungeon Master's Guide (1st only).
This is my current ability spread including racial traits is this:
Strength 13
Dexterity 15
Constitution 10
Intelligence 16
Wisdom 8
Charisma 14
I'm not overly happy about it but I'm attempting to get max skills as possible while still being decent with attacks and keep my charisma up enough for social situations (Bluff etc).
My current feats are Two Weapon Fighting and nothing (I'm thinking a skill bonus feat).
Any suggestions you can all offer would be greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read!
EDIT: To clarify for those confused, I'm in a D&D 3.5 campaign.
