Hi all, I’m playing in a 4 player 5.5e campaign and have a 2 rogue / 1 artificer character with a stat spread 12/18/16/16/15/16. Other party members are ranger, Druid, and wild magic Barbarian. I’m considering taking Artificer up to 3 at some point for the Cartographer subclass(for plot and personal flavour reasons) and then going full Phantom rogue the rest of the way.
We’re not sure how long the campaign will be for as the DM is creating the campaign as we go, but they hope it will continue into tier 3 or 4. Is it worth delaying rogue levels/ subclass/feats till level 6 for combat purposes or would it be better to get to higher rogue levels before continuing in Artificer?
I already have a feats plan for at least Skulker and Skill Expert to fit in here somewhere to get dex to 20, after those I was considering dumping asi’s into Con to be a stupidly bulky rogue.
Any and all opinions would be appreciated!
