For pure hunting you will want to be doubled in armor, CM, weapon, dodge, hide, ambush. PT is the prime stat that determines Redux, however by your level you'll be reaching the top of the redux level, so I'd drop down to either 1.5x to 1x. If you post a few logs of being hit, I'll calculate it for you.

Tripled perception and hiding for a hunter rogue are pretty much pointless. In my experience you can either hide in front of a critter with 2x in training or not hide with a million ranks.

I'd 2x dodge, 1.5x shield, though if you are going for more DS, 2x shield as well. But get dodge and armor up there.

she wears padded brig, what armor should i put her in if i doubble?

[StrayRogue]

If you have enough points to full double (which I doubt), you could be in MBP. Otherwise hauberk would be good. I'd concentrate bringing Dodge up to par though, before armor.

would you suggest something diffrent about her Stats?

Edit: what exactly does dodging do now?

Bring CON down to the mid-eighties or so, possibly 90. Same with Dex and Agility (no lower than 90 though). While you'll see a loss in AS/DS etc, you can easily pump this 30-40 points into things like Intuition, Logic and Aura. I'd raise Intuition to atleast 75, possibly 80, Aura to 70 atleast (don't bother if she's not in COL however), then put the rest possibly in logic. FYI I never start a character who has less than 65 in Logic: they absorb exp too slow for my liking otherwise.

Dodge helps you evade attacks. It also adds extra DS. I suggest you look at the EBP system in the combat guide on the GS4 website for more info.

I just want to sit back and amuse myself with the idea of Edine playing a girl.

hmm I thought perception helps with aiming... do you have a suggestion of the weapon to use..

[StrayRogue]

It does, but as a OHE user you don't need to be tripled. 2x is fine. For ambushing, I'd use a dagger or short sword. For general fighting, the oldies are the best: Falchion, longsword, axe etc. With 1.5x perception and 1x ambush I hit what I aim for most times. You are doubling both these skills AND using a small weapon, so you'll be hard pressed to miss often.

how does the crit stuff work now will i have a better chance with a smaller weapon?
