Blargh, I'm stuck with planning my character out. I'm torn between being a Tiefling, get all those lovely extras, and getting rid of my level reduction at 3rd level, or going human to go straight to 4th and taking advantage of the extra feat and skill points. And I still don't know if I should just take something completely different, like elf or halfling, and take the Dark template!
So far, what I'm working with is basically Rogue 4/Swashbuckler 3 and take Exemplar 1 at lvl 10. I'm going for being the groups stealthy/trap disarming/backstabber, and having a lot of skill points in a select group of skills. (Namely hide, move silently, spot, search, pick locks, disarm traps, tumble, UMD and probably bluff and listen.) For feats, I'm probably going to go for TWF as well as Daring Outlaw I think it was called as well as Darkstalker and something else if I can get the feats, maybe Craven or something to help me sneak attack.
I'm trying to figure out what I should do for the other 12 levels. Invisible blade 5 for one-on-one sneak attacks? Thief-Acrobat 5 for various shenanigans (1 level of this would still be really good)? Shadowdancer for HIPS, darkvision and shadowjump (which I find pretty cool, especially for escaping all sorts of nasty business)? Assassin for sneak attack and spells? I like the look of the Nightsong classes, especially Nightsong Enforcer since it has Sneak Attack, so maybe a few levels of those? I'm also considering taking 2 levels of fighter for feats, full BAB and all the weapons that it lets you use.
Thoughts and advice?
