Light weapons are likely your friends here.

Swashbuckler/Two Weapon Warrior? Is that even possible? I don't currently own an APG, so I'm not clear on the rules -įocusing on the fighter levels (think in terms of Fighter 14/Rogue 6), and ensuring you have a high enough dexterity to achieve access to feats like Wind Stance and Lightning Stance (which shouldn't be an issue if you're planning on two-weapon fighting). I could realistically take the time to jam something out sometime after my spread of classes today, but until classes are said and done I don't really have the proper time to crunch the numbers, nor a complete enough understanding of your concept, but I can definitely point you in the direction of multi-classing rogue/fighter. )Īu contraire monsieur, this is what optimizers do: we take a concept and make it work as well on paper as it does in your head D KnightErrantJR wrote: I know, this really isn't design by any kind of optimization. You could even justify human as a starting favored enemy due to background.

It gets more skill points, and does get stealth and perception as class skills as well as staying full BAB. APG has the spell-less variant if that's desired, as well as the urban one.

)Īnother option for an 'assassin' type PC would be to use the Ranger instead of Fighter. I've been a big fan of PF vital strike and power attack with my other characters that have been melee focused. Yeah, I really would like to go straight with one class, so it would be nice if I could find some way to make stealth a class skill for a mobile fighter, but I hadn't seen anything that jumped out at me yet. I may need to bring that up to him, as that actually fits the character concept (a former magically trained assassin in the church of Mask in the Forgotten Realms) even better than the swordsage did. I do like the Shadow Assassin, a lot, but I'm not sure if my friend is up for a 3rd party product in the campaign. (not sure if you already consider those a no-brainer combo) I was looking for this the other day, and can tell you that there are no traits to add stealth as a class skill, sadly. I'm wondering how well I can pull off some 'shadow assassin' abilities with only the three maneuvers I can pull off using feats, and the one stance I could pick up, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this.Ĭonsider the Genius Guide Shadow Assassin class perhaps? (it's PF-ruleset) I actually want to try to make a Mobile Fighter that has some ranks in stealth and is going to use the Martial Study feat to add a shadow based power. He was a pretty stealthy former assassin that was focused on shadow based maneuvers. I'm actually thinking of rebuilding the character for Pathfinder, and even though I could use a Swordsage in my friend's campaign, I'm thinking that I want to run him as something more 'Pathfindery' but still able to pull off some of the tricks that he could when he was a swordsage. He was curious is I was going to use a swordsage character that I used in the campaign when attempting a pbp here on the forums in the campaign now that we're playing this bi-weekly at the gaming store. My friend is running the Shackled City AP using Pathfinder rules, and he's allowing a good amount of 3.5 material.
