My first contribution!
I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but if you would read and comment (maybe suggest?)
Rogue (Finesse Fighter)
DEX, STR, and CHA are vital
Pick Artful Dodger over Brutal Scoundrel
Suggested feat: Weapon Proficiency (Rapier) (Human Feat: Improved Initiative)
Suggested Skills:Acrobatics, Athletics, Bluff, Insight, Perception, Stealth, Thievery
Suggested At-Will Powers: Deft Strike, Riposte Strike, or Sly Flourish (all three if you are human)
Suggested Encounter Power: Positioning Strike
Suggested Daily: Trick Strike
I think that Improved Initiative is a must for any rogues since First Strike gives you combat advantage on those who haven't acted, and you get extra damage on those poor suckers. I also think that the Rapier is a must for any man who wants to call himself a finesse fighter or dashing swordsman or musketeer or what-have-you (I had a musketeer in mind when I thought this up).
I would rename all of the powers to fencing cliches like Have at You (Deft Strike) Touche (Riposte Strike) and have Sly Flourish be an attack with a witty insult or such- and all references to sliding and shifiting would reflect the ability to change footing and dance about your foe. I wouldn't know how to flavor Sneak Attack (I don't think of a musketeer of being all sneaky).
Levelling wise I would suggest Tumble and Trickster's Blade, but other than that I would be open for suggestions for later powers. I would also like to think about Paragon Paths? (maybe someone could brew one up?)
