I'm playing a daring outlaw build (currently rogue 4/swashbuckler 13) and having a lot of fun with it. When he gets his sneak attack off he does huge amounts of damage, but when he doesn't, the damage he does is fairly trivial. I have deathstrike bracers, so I can sneak attack most things, and I have darkstalker/high hide and move silently/wand of invisibility, so I can generally get one round of sneak attacks off.
But I'm having trouble getting a second round of sneak attacks off, when the first doesn't finish the encounter (or if for any reason I don't get my first off). None of the other PCs really do front line melee (they're all low to mid optimisation casters), so I don't generally have anyone to flank with.
So I'm looking to take a feat at 18th level that will give me a flanking buddy. It doesn't need to do much damage, and I don't want it overshadowing any of the PCs. It mainly just needs to stand in the right place. So good stealth, mobility and durability are priorities. I think my DM will probably allow most any feat (maybe not Dragon Magazine content).
Any suggestions?
