So I have decided (first time in my life) to go with a rogue. Thinking about supplementing it with grenadier level or two, so that i can love the smell of napalm in every battle.
Question: How many lvls of grenadiers should I take?
And is this build viable stat-wise?
Race: human starting class: rogue
Str: 7 (will switch to dex to damage feat as soon as i am able to)
Dex: 19 (should i have gone to all 20?)
Con: 14 ( I think)
Int: 16 (read its good for bombing)
Wis: 14 (don't know why, only marginal rewards in will saves)
Cha: 7 (wish I could decrease it further)
Any advice is well-appreciated.
1) 7 Str is a little low, but you'll be ok as long as your teammates don't all have the same strength scores. Just bear in mind that until you get level 3, you're going to be suffering -2 damage on all your hits.
2) no, it's very rarely worth getting that last point.
3) Con is nice, but don't let it stop you from upping other ability scores.
4) you're gonna multiclass to Alch? That's not a very good idea. Alch is much better when it's kept pure. Vivisectionist makes a good multiclass, but straight up Alch isn't as good in my opinion - you only get a number of bombs/day equal to Alch level + Int modifier.
5) that's too much Wisdom, probably. 10 at the most, or 7 if you need the points elsewhere.
Rogue is alright but with those stats you could go full Vivisectionist and have 20th level Alchemist casting. Tons of crazy buffs, and the same Sneak Attack dice.
