Strength rogue, shield slam sneaker

Unread post by Klompoen »

I really liked the Shield feats added to the server, but they only seem to shine when used for a sneaker.

I was thinking in terms of a mercenary/thug type fighter, using fighting tricks: knockdown, shield slams to the head 8-) , feint, expose weakness and the armored invis from GFK.

Fighting in full plate and with tower/heavy shield

Not sure how to build this properly though, aimed for high AB and still high sneak damage. But feel like I try to just cram it all in there somehow and not sure if it will work well in a fight.

any advice for this one: http://nwn2db.com/builder.php?id=262351

For knockdown you need high STR, heavy armor is low DEX. So classes that add a lot of SA dice can be a problem.

Maybe GFK as suggested. Blackguard. It would work nicely if you wanted to add Feint.

Fighter 14/Rogue 16 should work on its own. If you want GFK, Fighter 10/Rogue 10/Ghost-Faced Killer 10 should work just fine as well. Rogue 10 is there to get Crippling Strike and sneak attack dice, which opens the path for Epic Precision. Fighter levels grant you the freedom of feats, which allows you to pick up all the things you listed beforehand. Not to mention that you can go all in on Strength.

Rogue 19/Fighter 8/ bodyguard 3 with weapon focus feats and high STR should work well.

The only downside to that one is how it is just 1 BAB short of 26.
