After reading and being inspired by another thread, I figure that I would beef up the rogue a bit, or at least add some flavor. Do these changes make the rogue more appealing, but not overpowered? Basically, I'm going for making it equivalent to the ninja, or at least just as stylish, but definitely not better. Many thanks to malignor, whose ideas I based this off of.
Rogue Panache: Add Weapon Finesse to your feat list at level 1 and and Agile Maneuvers at level 3.
Combat Style: At level 4, select a combat style, and one feat from the list for that style. At levels 10 and 16, get another feat from the same list. For those feats marked with an asterisk, treat Rogue levels as Fighter levels for calculating CMB. If you have taken all the feats on the list already, you get a +1 insight bonus to your attack and CMB instead. Before taking any feat with "Improved" or "Greater" in its name, you must have the lesser version of that feat if it is a pre-requisite. Some feats can only be taken at 10th level or higher with this ability. You do not have to qualify for the regular pre-requisites of these feats otherwise.
