Fighter,mage ,rogue will it work


Advice


Trying to make a fighter,mage,rogue. Was thinking slayer3, magus4 arcane Archer 2. Thinking about more levels in arcane archer or arcane trickster maybe eldritch Knight. Any thought's on feats. No 3rd party stuff,don't have to be great at everything, just playable.


Make a Magus with rank in Stealth and Disable Device. Take Greensting Slayer if you're really attached to Sneak Attack, but I don't recommend it.

If you want an arcane archer, the Eldritch Archer has you covered.

Magus with VMC rogue works also.


The AA was for skill points,BaB,d10 HP and 7/10 casting


Arcane trickster look Interesting and will have +7BaB,plus good HP and 6 level caster


Sneak Attack and Spellstrike do not mix well. Not that you can't add Sneak Attack damage to a Spellstrike, but optimizing Sneak Attack requires getting a lot of attacks to apply Sneak Attack to, while Spellstrike requires getting a really powerful spell and hitting once with it. Sneak Attack does not benefit from critical multiplication, while Spellstrike can go supernova with crits, but has no direct benefit from gaining additional attacks (although it can be used to gain additional attacks).

Single-classing Eldritch Archer, as Sundakan mentioned, would be best if you like the archery. Otherwise, a pure Magus would be better. Arcane Archer does not mix best with Magus, since Magi have 2/3 casting, and 2/3 of 2/3 casting is not good. Arcane Archer is designed to downgrade Wizard or Sorcerer fullcasting into 2/3 casting, while upgrading Wizard or Sorcerer d6 HD, 1/2 BAB into d8, 3/4 BAB equivalent, since d8 HD, 3/4 BAB is the average of d10 HD, full BAB and d6 HD, 1/2 BAB. Being a pure Magus makes that simpler and ensures your class features stack. In fact, both Eldritch Knight and Arcane Archer can be done as a pure Magus.

If you're really, really just itching for that Sneak Attack, consider 1 level in Snakebite Brawler. Unchained Rogue is also a possibility, although you don't get the BAB boost. After that, take Accomplished Sneak Attacker for 1 extra d6 to Sneak Attack.


Archaeologist bard, sandman bard, most mesmerists and eldritch scoundrel rogue are other ways of mixing magic, stealth and fighting to various degrees without necessarily multiclassing. What do you want to end up with?


Thanks for the advice,snakebite brawler looks like a better start than slayer. AVR, been playing 30years now,d,d 2nd ed. Fighter,mage rogue was my favorite class, just seeing if I could get something playable without been useless at all 3. 3,4sneak dice 4th level spells ,good base attack. But bard is not an option, dorkness rising and all that.
