Working on a build right now, mostly taking the feats at "random," meaning "will I need this sooner or later? yes? then take it while it is available." One of these days I may actually sit down and try to plot something out, but the way I am working on this build is as follows: for every three levels of rogue, I take one in fighter. (id est: every fourth character level (4, 8, 12, et cetera) is a fighter level). when I hit twenty character levels, I'll take whatever prestige class is available to me for about six to eight levels (especially if I can get Shadowdancer by that time), and then go back to the original pattern for the rest of the character's creation. what I am hoping for is a character whose sneak attacks will dole out enought damage to take out the above average foe without needing spells. everything else I fully intend to crush with magic (maybe even getting a few scrolls of Flesh To Stone or Hold Monster) and then finish the job with Hide In Plain Sight and more sneak attacks.

Now, the questions are:

- do I max out Dexterity or put more points into the Sneak Attacks?
- since my character isn't lawful, monk is out. if Shadowdancer isn't available at twenty levels, what should I be looking for to boost this character's abilities?
- if I am operation with kukri, what magical spells should I be buying in order to keep my halfling thief alive and kicking? (yes, this is my Tomi Undergallows the Second build, a distant cousin of the (semi)legendary thief of Neverwinter.)
- aside from the Gauntlets of Lloth, what kind of equipment would people advise (in this module)?
