PFS rogue / lorewarden

[David Bowles]

I currently have an elven lorewarden/rogue that is using an elven curve blade. She is sitting at lorewarden 2/rogue 1 and has blind-fight, toughness, power attack, combat expertise, and improved feint as feats. I was going to get finesse rogue at character level 4 with the rogue trick and click my DEX up to 18.

After researching the elven curve blade, I'm torn as to which direction to take this character. Any input?

Sneaky Maneuver is pretty good for lore wardens, considering the bonus they get to Combat maneuvers. Scout Rogues can get it on every charge come lvl4.

I personally don't really like toughness, would replace it probably, and go for the Dirty trick line instead of feint. Of course, you can retrain those later.

I have found toughness to be invaluable in PFS. Particularly for elves. However, the sneaky maneuver suggestion might be gold for my character.

Your next lvl should be in a Maneuver Master Monk for the free maneuver after every full-attack. One extra lvl of lore warden for the bonus to CMB. Then Rogue all the way, with a possible dip in Lore Warden for one more lvl if you need an extra feat. Being a Scout Rogue will certainly help.

Take Weapon Finesse with a feat by retraining toughness (you have at least 12 Con, right?) and improved feint. Dirty Trick is a much better trick to take as LoneKnave suggested, because when they get blinded they are eligible for sneak attacking. It also protects you more than Toughness, by debuffing the enemy and lowering his attack + damage bonuses. So Weapon Finesse and Furious Focus can take the place of toughness and improved feint, with Improved Dirty trick being a bonus feat from the monk dip. When you can afford a cloak of lesser displacement, take the Moonlight Stalker feat for a permanent +2/+2 bonus at your attack and damage rolls. Greater Dirty Trick should be obtained as soon as you qualify. Take Weapon Training (Elven Curved Blade) as your first talent and Offensive Defence as your second.

I would not really recommend Sneaky Maneuvers though, idealy you will use your free extra maneuver when you full attack, so that the rest of your attacks are sneak attacks.
