[Ziggurat]

With a Rogue I generally go for a sword and dagger (stilleto or Canazou). I agree they are second best to a Fighter but more fun. Monk with MA is a close third. Next would be a well-developed Bard, using a sword with shield for AC, and then Ranger, Samurai and Ninja. Samurais and Ninjas do well but their weapons aren't quite as good. This is just my observation on melee play, everyone has their favorites!
