With the right feats, and a decent Charisma, this can help. A high Dex is great, but you may also want Improved Initiative (or at least one of the traits that gives you a +2 to initiative).īluff to feint. Initiative may be key for getting into position for a sneak attack before foes can effectively respond by adjusting their own positioning (or attack of opportunity you while moving), as well as for throwing shuriken, daggers or other ranged weapons during the surprise round. Your size is going to give you an insane Stealth modifier, and if you have a way to reduce the light level in the area (and still get sneak attacks), or some other way of maximizing your ability to get sneak attacks, such as a ninja's vanish trick, or a feat or archetype ability that allows faster use of Bluff to feint, or good use of flanking / positioning, you should be good to go.įocus on getting sneak attack on as many attacks as possible, and come up with some alternate tactics for when that isn't an option, like a tanglefoot bag or some alchemist's fire or something. A size Tiny longsword does 1d4, instead of 1d8, which is only an average of 2 less points of damage, but the sneak attack dice remain unaffected by weapon size, so, at the end of the day, it's not a huge loss for you. Weapon size is less of an issue for Rogues than their sneak attack dice.

While on the role-play side is awesome, I'm concerned about combat utility. I'm building a level 4 character, being a Rogue of Tiny size.
