What feats should one take on GI for the rogue bonus feats? If you are a Rogue CC I would say the standard Rogue ones or perhaps the more combat oriented. The real problem is with Wiz CC since most the rogue bonus feats don't really have a benefit until 25 or more levels of Rogue. To top it off you must take 3 of these feats as they are given 1 every 3rd levels starting at L10. You can shift Rogue levels into Epic Levels to widen the feat options but you lose out on AB which is already low. Currently I think Defensive Roll and Improved Evasion are nice as the let you get Epic Dodge assuming you get Tumble to 30+. Still leaves 1 more and most of them are not very useful Opportunist seeming to be the best if the base NWN functions still work giving you +4 to AoO.

I've read that the class was meant to be able to take advantage of Opportunists HG modifications to add AB based on INT. The HG gurus are examining the issue to see what they'd like to do about it. I'm sure that somehow it will become useful.
Crippling Strike is also useful, even with only the standard functionality of reducing the target's STR.
Slippery Mind will still give a 2nd roll to avoid failed Will saves vs. mind-affecting spells.
Not sure about how trap setting works exactly on HG, but rolling 20 during combat to set a trap might be handy as a GI has to do *something* with all those skill points.

Rogue CC certainly were but heavy xbow doesn't qualify for it however a Wizard CC Im not certain is. I am also looking at Wizard bonus feats and finding that to be lacking since w/ 24 levels you get EMA and Hellball free but function of them is different. Not much incentive to take Spell Foci maybe Ill or Abj for buffs and with just Greater Spell Penetration you get +12 which is more than a Wizard will get w/o gear or artifact. Crippling Strike doesn't work for xbow at least not the normal NWN version.

The str drain from crippling strike doesn't work with ranged weapons. And attacks of opportunity can be made only with melee weapons as well.
So aside from def. roll and imp evasion for epic dodge, I'd pick slippery mind (if only vs mind-affecting spells) or skill mastery (to use rogue abilities in combat).
