Is this a feasable idea?

[Tim Melnick]

I was at work the other day and remembered how broken my friends Arcane Trickster was when we did Carrion Crown, and was thinking, is making a rogue/Magus kensai/arcane trickster feasible or just over thinking the situation. Was thinking of making it the dex based kensai and use dervish dance with a scimitar too get the dex too damage as well as atk and allow too use the scimitar with my rogue as precision damage and get it either keened or take improved crit so all scimitars i find are double crit rate.

actually i built something incredibly similar to that idea:
Elf Magus/Rogue/Arcane Trickster

idea is (knife master/bandit) rogue/(kensai) magus/AT. take keen kukri, turn invisible or grab flanking buddy, spellstrike+SA+Surprise spell(when applicable) until enemy is dead.

elf for the perfect stat increases (offset con penalty w/ build points), favored class magus for the extra arcana, etc.

I'm actually stumped as to what his last two feats should be.

[Tim Melnick]

checking out your sheet, how do you get the extra +7 damage if using your kukri? Is it +5 enhancement bonus or from somewhere else? Also, that is A LOT of gold, ive nvr had that much when i played ever. lol. Though it is a very nice setup.

Have you considered a Vivisectionist/Magus instead?

The two will sync well, and you won't be weighed down with Rogue levels.

@ Tim: The +7 is from Agile weapon property on his kukri, allowing him to add dex to damage in place of strength.

@AndIMustAsk, if your Kukri is +5 and Keen,Agile,Speed, you're forgetting the enhancement bonus to damage, should be +5Magic, +7 dex for d4+12

oh and also @ Tim, 880,000 GP is the wealth by level for 20th level characters

actually, since hes a knife master, its d8+12, and thank you for agile. I nvr see it in my friends hero lab, so i was wondering what it exactly did.

[Tim Melnick]

really? We did the full carrion crown, and the best our group had for gold worth of gear was just under 200k, how do you get too 880k?

SkyHaussmann pointed out the wealth by levels guidelines, specific campaings of course do not have to follow that table.

I threw together a level 7 Vivisectionist/Evoker/Arcane Trickster, I imagine replacing the Wizard levels with Magus could work pretty well. You'd be less cast-y but more fight-y.
