Unsure in training

[Trinitis]

Ok, I made a rogue with a set RP, and how I want to play him. He is a dagger/knife expert (figured this would be a lot of fun combined with the Rgabit knife skills).

He does no picking what so ever, but is a thief.

Here is my current training set up :


(at level 3), your current skill bonuses and ranks (including all modifiers) are:
Skill Name | Current Current
| Bonus Ranks
Armor Use..........................| 20 4

What I dono...is what to do with those extra points? I'm kinda trying not to convert any points..but I'm not really sure what to do with it all. Any ideas?

Converting is actually a better idea now that you gain the full points back. I'd train more in combat maneuvers and apparently you don't want to be able to pick boxes. More shield training is good, too.

If you strictly want to do mental points, though... good luck.

Definitely double in CM so that you can get more combat maneuvers.

[Trinitis]

I think the less shield training was more of an RP aspect of the training. He will never use anything bigger then a buckler..he is more shadowy/dodge the blows then blocking them.

CM is something to think about..but I'm not sure yet. The CM cost is pretty heafty when you hit 2x as a rogue.

[Trinitis]

Heh, I just tried, I can't even 2x CM's with my current training plan.

CM, Dodging, climbing, swimming... if you can convert.. especially CM.

Scrolls, MIU and spells if you don't (which is stupid.. so just convert them already!)

If Falgrin didn't train in lockpicking stuff, he would be 3x in hiding/dodging and 2x in CM.

[Parkbandit]

What about 2 weapon combat or multi-opponent combat then?

[Trinitis]

Well...I was 3x'ed in Dodge..I dropped it to 2x because the way my training was looking, I was going to run outta points before I turned 5 and not be able to keep up with the 3x.

The 2x CM's is a nice idea really, cause when hamstring and such comes out, its gonna be a blast..I guess I could drop the trading..he's not such a nice guy anyway..he would not be found bickering with a merchant. But I don't think thats going to free up enough TP for the skills.
