I'm putting together a backup character for a campaign I'm currently playing in. Right now the campaign is at level 7, and I'm intending the backup character to be used at levels 10+ in the case of my PC dying.
The character is an Rogue (Scout) using Shatter Defenses and a Bard cohort (using a mix of Dirge of Doom and Dazzling Display with Versatile Performance) to provide the pre-reqs for Sneak Attack.
Has anyone tried something along these lines and does it tend to work well or not? Any ideas on the best way to optimize either the PC or the Cohort?
