I am helping a new player to my campaign stat up his character. He is playing a rogue and is new to the game. The rest of the party is 7th level, where he will be starting. I was wondering, what would be some good feats for him to take? I was leaning towards Weapon Finess, SKill Focus (Stealth), Quick Draw, and Flick of the Wrist. Any other suggestions?
Edit: The thread should be titled Best Feats For a Rogue. Could one of the Paizoinas fix that for me?
If he's a thrower point blank shot isn't bad.
What do you have access to?
From the top of my head:
PF Beta
Weapon Finesse. A no-brainer really. There's a monk talent that lets you take this.
Toughness. More HP never hurt. This basically bumps you up one HD category
Two-weapon fighting and followups - for two-weapon fighting rogues only.
Quick Draw: for knife throwers.
Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot: For throwing or shooting rogues. If you're a knife thrower, look into quick draw and two-weapon fighting, too.
Improved Initiative. First drop means sneak attack!
Dodge, Mobility, maybe Spring Attack. More AC
Weapon Focus.
Improved Critical. Maybe not that useful alone, but there's nice follow-ups out there.
Combat Expertise, Improved Feint
Combat Reflexes.
Skill Focus. Useful if there's a skill you totally want to be great in.
Jason's Extra Feats from the Playtest
Greater Feint (or make the fighter take it ;-))
Step Up. No more pesky 5-foot steps to get away from you!
SRD/Extra Material
Deadly Precision. For some obscure reason, this feat is found in the Expanded Psionics Handbook, but it's also available in the SRD (see [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/psionicFeats.htm#deadlyPrecision]www.d20.org[/org]
Open Minded. Another weird choice for the XPSiH. Basically gives you 5 extra skill points.
Cloak Dance. More XPH.
Other books
Telling Blow. From PHB2 I think. All your crits are sneak attacks now. A must for every rapier-wielding rogue!

If you grab the dodge and mobility possibly wind stance. Depends on how many ranged opponents you are facing.

Skill Focus (bluff) makes you better at feinting, and anyone you successfully feint loses Dex to AC (i.e., sneak attack-ible).
What type of fighting style does he want to use? Two weapon or spring attack. Also with the books you listed don't forget Telling blow. It allows you to apply SnA damage if you crit. Works very well with a keen rapier.
