At first level, take a level of Bard (Dervish Dancer) to gain automatic Kukri proficiency, and access to Dancing Lights, Grease, and Silent Image. From there you proceed normally into Knife Master/Scout. As soon as possible, I take either 4 or 6 levels into Shadowdancer, and also 3 levels of Assassin. Beyond this its exactly the same.<br /><br />Its basically your shanker build with the ability to create illusions and copies of oneself to further confuse enemies. You can "blink" directly out of sticky situations, or directly behind an opponent that you may otherwise have a tough time landing a sneak attack on. You can also use death-strike, so you can instagib any single enemy you want, and then if you want "blink" out, study another enemy, and instagib them again three rounds later. The increase critical range and non-sneak damage from the Kukris make up for the slight reduction in number of dice per sneak attack.Groove Trainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911376846021432319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457309627892248510.post-87048015954687768732016-03-09T18:49:07.411-05:002016-03-09T18:49:07.411-05:00You can definitely choose other feats and talents ...You can definitely choose other feats and talents for this build, but the step up and strike & scout combo is pretty nice.Zenithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084567670274788805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457309627892248510.post-63714077354339185532016-03-08T23:55:07.877-05:002016-03-08T23:55:07.877-05:00Is step up and strike that good?

A wakizashi is still a great weapon for a rogue, but I wouldn't devote feats and resources to improve criticals. You could alternatively be a ninja instead of a rogue for the wakizashi proficiency.Zenithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084567670274788805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457309627892248510.post-68520247394053574872015-11-23T16:55:10.885-05:002015-11-23T16:55:10.885-05:00Can you play a Rogue Crit base TWF (Wakizashi) Hob...Can you play a Rogue Crit base TWF (Wakizashi) Hobgoblin (anything but human) ?
