Advice on Tengu rogue


Advice


I've decided to make a tengu rogue for my next game. my stats are (rolled 3d6 x 12, choose best 6 per gm):
14
15
13
15
10
15

It's a dungeon heavy game, so I'm sure traps will be an issue. Looking for suggestions in general.


I'd definitely take the Tengu racial for claws and then focus natural attacks when it comes to combat. 3 attacks all at full BAB are great, especially with sneak attack on all of them... and no negatives for two weapon fighting. If your DM lets you access any gear you can afford then I would put that 10 in strength and pick up an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists. If that's not an option I'd probably put a 14 or 15 in strength just for the little bit of static damage, but still go 15 in dex and take Weapon Finesse as a feat or talent.

For Rogue Talents, Trap Spotter is a must if you're playing in a trap heavy game. It gives you an automatic Perception check to notice traps if you are within 10 feet of them (though the DM is supposed to roll). That helps to prevent the game grinding to a halt because of the "walk 10 feet, stop, roll to check for traps, continue, repeat" mentality traps can inspire.


Did you roll stats in order, or can you arrange them how you want? Unless you're the party face, or a ninja, charisma is not useful for a rogue.


Go rogue( with 3 natural attacks) till around level and then when you have shatter defense (feat) take a monk level or two and get enforcer(feat). Then foes without uncanny Dodge or fear immunity will Fall quickly before you.
Sorry for spelling and all i am drunk and on the phone.


I can arrange the stats however.

And that Enforcer/Shatter Defenses combo looks pretty sweet.


Funny, I had a feeling that the advice you'd get would be more along the lines of: "don't play a rogue". You're going to want toughness to make up for the -2 con.


the swordmaster AT is also worth looking at (CMB check for pounce at level 3? alrighty then)
