Talk:SoZ Solo Stealthy Skilled Stabber - Ro(24),Ra(2),SB(3),SD(1)

Hello,

I had a go with this build and got slightly confused at the end. Although I was using a half elf, I had the dexterity needed for the final epic feats, but couldn't take Epic Dodge on 29 / 30. Should Defensive Roll be listed somewhere? I eventually figured this out and took it as an extra feat on 26, and managed to take PTWF on 29 and epic dodge on 30.

Very happy with the build. Why kukris and not shortswords? High DEXrogues general lack damage, I would have thought shortswords would be the choice. Also, with such a great DEXand BAB, why not gear up to have whirlwind to dispatch lots of enemies at once?

Comparing this build to the Crippling Wind Rogue, the SSS does much more damage but lacks a higher AB. The CR has more feats also (for disarm, perhaps, TWD, whirlwind etc) but lacks the crucial Combat Insight and Insightful Strike. I prefer the SSS for this reason. Actually, Half Elf works rather well also, with extra spot / search / listen skills, no experience pen and no CHA pen. Although DEX and INT do not finish as high.
