Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

So, I want to create a new PC to try something different and freshen things up a bit. But I don't want to stray to far from My current PC's Build.

The differences I would like to see are..
I'm looking to create a human or half-elf that is non-lawful. And add in magic to the mix.

Any suggestions?

Wisdom based Phantom 3/Cleric 7/Darkfire Disciple 10/Hierophant 10 could be something to consider. Not as much of a sneak, but you do get that 5d6 Sneak Attack Dice at least.

Rogue 3/Wizard 7/Arcane Trickster 10/Eldritch Knight 10 - could also be something worthy of your consideration. This one gets 7d6 Sneak Attack Dice.

Thanks for the response! I'll toy around with your suggestions a bit on the db

Another thing to look at is the: Rogue 3/Wizard 7/Arcane Trickster 10/Dagger Spell Mage 10, as it gets 10d6 sneak attack dice.

Also builds like....

Rogue 14/Shadowdancer 3/Cleric 3/Darkfire Disciple 10

Or...

Rogue 11/Wizard 6/Arcane Trickster 10/Shadowdancer 3

Could work rather well. They are less of casters, and more like noncasting traditional sneaks. The cleric gets Divine Power for 30 BAB, and the wizard one can just fling touch attack sneak attacks.

I am a bit confused... How do you not stray to far from your current PC without keeping some semblance of what he currently is? My thoughts...

You have 26 DEX, but don't get PTWF? Why? Deadly defense adds 1d4 damage per hit while in CE mode, PTWF would add 2 sneak attacks (3 under stealth) for a total of 4 (5) * sneak dice damage out of stealth and even more if you land feint! Here are a couple ideas I had:

R13/IB5/NWN3/A9 - HiPS, 14d6 sneak dice, drop Able Learner, Trip, Deadly Defense and pick up Improved TWF and Greater TWF as well as Weapon Focus to qualify for IB. Slippery Mind is TERRIBLE for a Rogue build of any sort because your Will saves are crap, so getting a 2nd roll ain't going to help (if the DC is 35 and you have 10 Will saves, 2 rolls still don't give you any chance to beat the DC). Crippling Strike is must have so you can get Epic Precision for half your sneak dice against crit immune.

Note you could go R16/IB3/NWN3/A8 which would allow you to get Epic Dodge, but whould be required to delay HiPS to level 30 which would make leveling a huge pain and would be difficult for human or half-elf (or any race that doesn't get +2 DEX). Just throwing it out there as it would be better at level 30, but MUCH worse while leveling.

It was more about the feel, but adding more to it to make the new PC a bit rejuvenating.

Sun Wukong has the understanding on what I was trying to get at.

However, I do appreciate your input chad878262 all the same.

Side note: I wont explain myself as to why I made the linked build how I did, as I feel there is no need.
