With the new DLC coming out on Thursday including a Tiefling Kineticist, I figured that would be a good time to start my Evil playthrough. I have decided on playing a female LE Plumekith Scaled Fist/Thug. That said, I'm not sure which of these classes should be the starting class.
Scaled Fist has a higher AC and HP and her primary weapon available at the start. However, has lower attack bonus due to lacking Weapon Finesse.
Thug has a higher attack bonus and Sneak Attack. However, fewer feats are gained and Linzi is also in the party and competing for the charismatic rogue role.
I'm leaning towards Scaled Fist first and then Thug 3 before going all in on the Monk. Perhaps Thug 4 or 5 if necessary at some point. Or would going Thug first be the better option?
Also, as a side note, I'm also undecided on her voice, between Confidant and Madman. Which is more suitable for my angelic assassin?
