Okay, so my girlfriend is trying to get me back into D&D. I haven't played in over 7 years since back when I was like 9. I was playing AD&D and first edition back then. I have kept sort of up to date on the systems and I do have all the core books up to 3.5 and I have access to every side book.
So I call upon the D&D aficionados that may frequent Y!A to help me figure out a decently optimized character progression. I was thinking of starting as a two-weapon ranger and then multiclassing to rogue for the sneak attack benefits. I want to be a character who can jump into and out of battle to flank and get sneak attacks off. I'll usually be playing with at least 4 other people, so I'm thinking this would work. I absolutely know for sure that I will need the Spring Attack feat and its prerequisites but that's about all I know right now.
I'd like my character to be human, or a half-character at least. And I'll be dual-wielding kukris because of their high threat range. Our DM/group is weird and doubles sneak attack damage with criticals, so I might as well take advantage of it :)
So can anyone give me a guideline of what I should do each level? Something like this format would be great:
Level 1: Ranger: Choose so and so feats, skills, etc
Level 2: Rogue: Choose so and so feats, skills, etc
etc.
This would really help me get back on my feet with the latest versions. I use to know the old versions inside and out and I'm not use to not knowing all the little tricks and loopholes to character creation :(
Thanks for reading all of this :)
If you need any more information, just ask for it, and I'll update this question.
Also, please no "D&D is for nerds, lololol." I have fun socializing with my friends and letting our imaginations go wild. Deal with it.
