relying almost exclusivly on sneak attacks is a mistake. There are many opponents that are immune. This is why its preferable to continue on with a character that can dish-out the damage and has sneak attacks as a bonus. In this case several have suggested the Assasin as the 3rd class. This may be acceptable IF your ONLY utilizing ranged attacks against strong opponents. If however you utilize melee fairly often then it is FAR preferable to select a BlackGuard instead of an Assasin (particularly if utilizing a weapon that can simulate the Assasin's paralyzation feature).
