I've always loved the Rogue/Assassin type class in the DnD settings but I never seem to be able to do it right on NWN. The rogues I make always seem to be able to be seen by a Lv1 person with 1 spot or my rogue has a +2/-1 Attack bonus at Lv18(these are exaggerations)
Anyway I'm interested in making a rogue/assassin who duel weilds to throw into the RP here in the realms and I'd like some help brainstorming.
I already know I need things such as feint- I'm thinking of being centered on Rogue and having some levels in Assassin or Invisible Blade after messing around on the char maker for a bit.
Any Tips or guides?
(I REALLY hate making Halflings btw)

PM Sent.
As for generalizations.. dont try an archer rogue.. at least with current gear they are not easy at all (though I think you did try this, didnt you?).
Be prepared to party a LOT at low levels, as the move up through about 8 is difficult, much moreso by yourself.
If you get sleight of hand, dont abuse it.
If you get sleight of hand, use it. Lol.
Get as much gold as you can for gear...and be sure to say your prayers.
More build help is in the PM.

nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Ninja_-_Ro%2816%29%2CM%281%29%2CIB%285%29%2CAsn%288%29The link above is to nwn2 wiki character builds for a ninja build. You will have to tweak the classes a bit to conform to building rules here. But all in all this is a great duel wielding build. It suggests certain classes for the the build but in my opinion Elf or Drow would work just as well wuth their dex bonus's. If the build doesn't suit your style pm me and i'll work out a custom build for you. I actually enjoy coming up with different builds.

Also in the Underdark theres a Rogue Merchant who sells everything an stealthy character could ever want- Is there one on the surface too?

I would use a character generator module to tinker with your build. Rogues are really fickle, and difficult to build and play.
It can be done, but it takes patience and an full understanding of their limitations and advantages.

The temple of Mask public display of its local on the area map makes it a joke as well as a disgrace to the god it represents. A shrine of Mask local would never be common knowledge In areas with a single strong thieves. guild, the temple or shrine to Mask is usually connected to the guild hall via underground tunnels. In large cities with competing guilds, the temple is in an underground location and is recognized as neutral ground by all sides. Maskarran strive to keep hidden these days, sometimes holding services of worship in underground shrines (often cellars reached by old sewers) and often keeping hidden inside local thieves. guilds. It is to the advantage of such seasoned conspirators as Maskarran that many folk of Faerûn think Mask is dead, and his worship reduced to scattered, bewildered cults. |

Click here for the build.Or you could try that build. Instead of Shadow Dancer level, you could get feint. It is quite easy to modify the selection feats to fit to one's desires. For example, if you decide to use one of those 1d4 weapons, get weapon finesse and two-weapon fighting as soon as possible. It makes it a bit more doable. And Bandits ought to be a good place to level. (In NWN2's Main Campaign one of the fastest way to beat Lorne was to Feint him to death.)
