Rogue/Assasin feat suggestions

[darwin.evenwood]

Hello there,

i am playing this build, it's a copy of a build made by metaquad but i turned it into an halfling.

http://nwn2db.com/build/?281631

Since i don't want to change stats, class or race, i only have a question about the last pre-epic feat to pick and the last epic one.

I took iron will to improve a bit the low will save.

Do you guys think would be better something else? since the will save would still be quite low. I was thinking something like:
Skill Focus-Move silently / Blind Fight / Two weapon defense
Would these three feats help a sneaker?

About the last epic feat, i took armor skin since there isn't anything else good in the builder but i have seen in the wiki we got Improved sneak attack, would it worth the loss of one point of AC? May you suggest something else?

Thanks and have fun!

I personally love blinding strike for any high sneak dice PC: https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Blinding_Strike

Frankly, even with Iron Will your will saves suck, best protection is HiPS and UMD for wand of least mantle, as with any rogue.

Also, I would personally recommend 13 STR/11 CON (or the reverse) or lowering WIS to 8 and going 13 STR and CON, then getting the belt of growth for +3 STR/CON. It is a huge boon for any DEX based/stealth character to have some carrying capacity, but even more important for a halfling.

As to the last epic feat, can't go wrong with more AC and you have the key epic feats so I'd say Armor Skin is fine. However, don't forget to think about non-epic feats that may be more useful. The nice thing is you have 28 levels to determine if there is something else you should take in place of Armor Skin, but depending on RP and such you may decide you'd rather take SF: Hide or Move Silently for example. Blindfight is nice to have, but by no means necessary (for PvE). All in all it's a nice, well rounded sneak character.

Thanks for the answer Chad.

I have read Blinding strike description and it sounds very nice. I will probably pick it.

Just a question about it: would you use it as your first attack from the shadows or the first one after the flurry of sneak attacks in order to try to blind the enemy and keep using SA?

What about the improved sneak attack epic feat? could work even better with Blinding strike.

Its not really an option. The feat has to be activated in advance as it adds a one time on hit property when activated. So really you just activate the feat clicky whenever the cool down expires.

More damage is never a bad thing, nor is +1 to your blinding strike dc.
