i have a mithral breastplate +3
i also have a dex of 21 (so +5)
what is the armor score for that combo alone?
cause then i have Bracers of protection +2
Spider silk shirt +2 (the GM is letting me get away with wearing it with the armor, his reasoning is that you have to wear a shirt or padding beneath ANY armor anyway.
and then i have 2 weapon defense
what would my total score be then?
cause for some reason i came to 29 and i think that's a little nuts.

i was just thinking about my rogue build and was pondering over the lack of BAB for the class, that is when it struck me. what if i could have a feat that i could exchange each die of sneak attack for a +1 BAB?
so hence
2d6 = +2bab
3d6 = +3bab
ect ect ect.

so for a 20th lvl rogue id have a maximum of +10bab
you forgo your sneak attack for that round for the exchange, you gain no extra attacks for that round from it.
so if you had say +5 BAB, and you had 3d6 sneak attack and you exchange it for the +3 BAB for a total +8 BAB, no extra attacks for beging above +6.
if you have 2 weapon fighting and made the exchange, you add the +3BAB to both attacks but once again no extra attacks made, and you get to have no other sneak attacks till the next time the target is vulnerable to another sneak attempt.

what say you??? :D

ok so heres the situation. my GM has decided to restart an old "Us" game (ya know where you just play your self in the setting) and we have changed from 3.5 to pathfinder! (after much begging)
anyway i need a rebuild for my old Arcane Archer.
since the classes have changed so much he is allowing us to reconfigure are character but we must have the same prestige class we had before.
i decided that id stick with what i had previously

so i decided that id go with rogue/Sorcerer (arcane bloodline)
so that i could have both ranged and melee sneak attacks and spells to make the job of getting in and out easier.

so the brake down is: human, 6lvl rogue and 4lvl Sorcerer

so now i gotta figure out to bes optimize my characters build cause im still pretty new to the game and well i have a b!@#$ of a time settling on ideas. so please help!

the setting is in forgotten realms (as per the old game)
i was also allowed to sell some old items i didn't need to get some new stuff that might better fit. the GM sold me a Light Swordbow (and had that made out of adamantium from a bastard sword that i gained in the old game)

main goal...to be a bad ass artillery piece with out screwing my self in melee
oh and i must have Toughness (were kinda fighter light right now, all we got is one fighter out a group of 6. i kinda need back him up as he also makes for my only flanking partner, i kinda want to keep up with him HP wise)
thanks for the help!

me and my friends decided that were gonna try pathfinder (running off the beta test) now i am an experienced gamer and used to standard 3.5, so to say the least i was blown away at the new rogue class and decided i have to have it..but im haveing hard time with a few things.
like.

1. are all talents one use only (like finesse rouge :enter weapon type:) can i take that for more than one weapon of is it just exactly that just that one weapon just that one time?
and same with the spells that they can get....is it only the one spell and thats it or can they take it more than once and get more than just one spell.

2. a close in fighter build..i an wracking my brains trying to find a way for my rogue to keep up with the partys new fighter (the whole team is trying pathfinder for the first time).
Sec. 1.a: dose sneak attack count for all my attacks for that round?
as in like say i take 2 weapon fighting, do i get sneak attack with both attacks or just the first one? (i never played a rogue in 3.5 so i have no idea how this works exactly.

3. i am gonna play a human...what weapons can i take with "weapon training" trait? are exotics included and what would be a good fit for my rogue build?
