Planar languages might be useful, if you can take any.

Hum - well, I was going to just take Common, Dwarven, Draconic and Goblin. Any planar in particular to take?

Also - yes - I might stuff everything in my backpack and er... let you carry it, if we are friendly enough. But with a very shiny and expensive chain shirt I have got the weight under 26 even with a few bits of fluff in my pockets.

Work in progress:

If anyone has any suggestions or comments I welcome them, I'm not an expert at this at all.

Also I took Weapon Finesse and Keen Intellect. I have Improved Initiative at the moment - is TWF better? Or rather, can I afford to leave it until level 6? I also considered Blind Fight but no.

Will finish off tomorrow.

When thinking about TWF:
•   Improved Two Weapon Fighting and Greater Two Weapon Fighting no longer exist.
•   Two Weapon Fighting grants you a number of offhand attacks equal to the number of main hand attacks you are entitled to, and does not impose additional to hit penalties for a one handed weapon in the off hand. It also no longer has any prerequisites. Happy birthday.
•   Two Weapon Defense provides an Insight bonus to AC equal to the number of mainhand attacks you can make derived from BAB.
•   A third feat exists in the Two Weapon Fighting line called Two Weapon Parry. It requires both of the previous feats and a BAB of 11. With it you can 'hold' a pair of attacks from Two Weapon Fighting, and use those attacks as an Immediate action against an attack made on you. This pair of attacks can either be your primary pair or one of your secondary pairs. If either of your attack rolls are higher than the attack roll of the attack, the attack is parried and does not harm you. If both attack rolls are higher, the attack is parried and if the attack rolls are also sufficient to hit the enemy's AC + 4, you hit them normally with your attacks. If neither are higher, the parry fails and the attack is resolved normally. You must choose to use your stored Parry before learning the result of the attack roll. Parries not used by the start of your next turn are lost.

Hum. Does that mean I could have two rapiers without a terrible penalty? Arg.

Still not sure if I'd prefer the +3 to initiative for 3 levels. Plus I'd have to drop my... I dunno, bag of marbles?

Go for two weapon fighting, not Improved Initiative.

And remember, Get your sneak attack damage and ability as high as you can.

On the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, well, I don't want to just SA (and don't know how to make it higher beyond the Craven feat).

I was thinking more kind of a town fixery type than a dual rapier wielding deadly assassin.

But then if that is what would be most useful to the group...?

I thought, you know, crime, urbanish, stuff.

Awarding XP for submitted backstories:

Rolepgeek: 420 xp. I felt guilty went I wasn't going to include the three bloody pages you wrote.

Allecat: 70 xp.

Remuthra: 170 xp.

I'll award the rest of the xp once everyone has their backstories in. Note that I am counting description as backstory.

Sorry - does this mean I could use two rapiers with -2 to hit on both?

Also, 3 pages? Crikey. Nice.

Nope. Only -2 to offhand. You make a normal attack with your main hand.

Get two weapon fighting dude, you need as much sneak attack damage as possible, which in your case means having as many attacks as possible. You'll really like my grease spell since it let's you sneak attack dudes easily. You'll love it more when I get sculpt spell and can cover 3 times as much area.

Also, thanks a ton for getting Keen Intellect approved! I'm seriously considering getting it over sculpt spell right now, since it will increase my will score TO THE HEAVENS and let me get some points in a few skills for free. Should I take it guys?

Oh yes, I think it gives me +4 to Will and +4 to a couple of decent skills. Sweet. If I slip and don't pick a human though I won't be able to take it, but I find it difficult not being human.

Also, so, if someone slips over and I attack them it's a sneak attack? Aha. I see. (I did say I'm not an expert)
