Until the new hackpak comes out, you would be wiser to go with daggers or rapiers over kukri. Sure, the kukri have a higher critical range, but right now there are no kukri that match the two best daggers currently available in the Undermountain. I have tried going with a fighter/rogue/weaponmaster as well, and she was a fairly successful character. I should have planned it out better, but I've never been big on gaming mathematics. *laughs a bit* In any case, if you wish to go with kukri, there is at least one fairly nice one around, but apparently it is a little hard to find.

Oh, if you are going rogue, carry a LOT of spells. Main reason for this: YOU CAN! You'd never believe how many times I have used Isaac's Greater Missle Storm with my rogue-based characters. Probably my favourite rogue attack of all time is to whip out a scroll and blast my foes from a distance before sliding in for the slashing kill.

Kill my noise about the kukri not equalling the daggers. There is at least one which is really, REALLY nice. If you are going with dual wield, it couldn't hurt to find that kukri AND roll with the Ancient Dagger Of Shadow. I have a feeling as a combination they could be lethal. I am a huge proponent of the Ancient Dagger Of Shadow, however, so I am biased. As well I have found myself a little iffy about the singular dagger more powerful than the ADoS. So I'll have to see that kukri in action to give a more detailed analysis.
