Pale Rogue - Ro (4) Wiz (6) PM (10) RWT (10)

Description
 Bard 8 / Wizard 8 / Shadow Thief of Amn 4 / Arcane trickster 10

The "Trickser of Amn" is an arcane alternative to a Rogue based build. The 8 bard level, the able learner feature and the high INT offers you so many skill points that you can easily fake the rogue abillities. The missing sneak attacks you need for the Arcane Trickser you get from the Shadowthief and as you all know : the Shadowthief offers much more than this. Its doublespeak and the reputaion is priceless for the dialogue moments.

If you want to use the Build to play the whole campainge you have no problem to gain the history feat before needed. I made all side quests before Neverwinter and ignored all besides the bandit Quests. I received it a level 9.

If you want to use this build without playing the OC you have to use an editor or the console to add the historical feature "Shadowtheif of Amn" ( # 1771 )

Note : The first 10 levels in this build are not easy to play and so this build is not to be recommended to beginners.
