Howdy,
I’m new to pathfinder and I need some serious help with a rogue character build. I’ve only played pathfinder once, so I don’t know all the great feat combos and tricks that the other more experience players I play with know. I want to build a solid rogue character that can dish out good combat damage. Everyone else in my group is squishy like me (wizard, alchemist and bard) so they expect me to do a little tanking. Could you guys please give me a few example of a 2 handed weapon rogue build and a two weapon fighting rogue build with their feet trees. Here are the requirements:
1. Has to be a 20 point build. I’m starting at level 1.
2. I don’t want to use any archetype where I lose my trap finding skill.
3. I want to be able to optimize my chances to sneak attack so I’m ok with going with scout archetype to help give more chances to sneak attack.
4. I’ll only get to play in this campaign about 6 or 7 times the whole year so my level progression will be really slow. I want a character build that will be solid and fun in the lower levels. Meaning I don’t want a character who has to wait until level 15 for his feat tree to really start shining. (it may take a couple of years before I get above 10 level)
5. This is not a requirement but I kind of like the idea of going with a half-orc so he can get a bite attack (to help deliver more sneak attack damage)
6. Also I'm not interested in using a longspear. We don't have enough tanks in the group for that to be effective.
Thanks for all you help in advanced. Like I said, I’m very new to pathfinder. I haven’t played a fantasy RPG since AD&D, so all this feat stuff is pretty new to me.
Thanks again
