Greetings all! My first post on these boards, hiya!
I'll get right to it:
I'm faced with making a 10th level rogue-type character using all core books with one exception: I can take one, count it, one non-core feat. I've already asked for Craven from Champions of Ruin and of course the DM said no because those are "evil" feats and this is a "relatively good" campaign.
So my question to you is thus: What non-core feat would you take for a 10th level rogue or some variation of a 10 level rogueish build? Think rogue 5/fighter4/shadowdancer 1 or rogue 10, with all builds almost certainly including two weapon fighting.
The problem is that I can take one non-core feat and everything else must be core -- ie, even if I wanted to take Daring Outlaw I couldn't take Swashbuckler so Daring Outlaw would be useless. Likewise I can't take the penetrating strike variant from Dungeonscape, the dark template from Tome of Magic, etc. I can't even take Invisible Blade, my nigh-favorite rogueish Prc. Sad state of affairs, I know =/.
So really I just want to know what non-core feat you all would consider most essential (Craven excluded, sadly -- and yeah, that's lame!) for a 10th level pure or multiclassed rogue type character who apart from this one feat is being built exclusively from the 3 core books. So far I'm thinking Improved Buckler Defense or one of the acrobatic feats from Complete Adventurer/Scoundrel. Maybe Raptor School or something equally silly from CW. Thoughts? :D
