This is a leveling Rogue build using the XR subrace Rhek.
Some notes about the build:
- This not a big damage build. Sneak attacks are important to maximizing damage output.
- The build should be a durable tank with decant armor class and saving throws.
- Because of the free weapon feats from Rhek subrace, this build uses Goad, Kama, or Nunchaku.
- This build is intended for starting as not a demigod, will add some notes for a demigod version.

- All level up ability increases to strength.
- Constitution artifact used.

10 - Cripple Strike
12 - Improved Critical

15 - Great Fortitude
16 - Improved Evasion
18 - Shield
19 - Skill Mastery
- If equipment setup has item with shield proficiency, like from BUR boots Mordenkainen's Mockery, could take Lightning Reflexes feat instead.

56 - Reminder if leveling a reincarnation to set tumble to at least 30
57 - Epic Dodge

- Suggested Pandact to use would be Sneak Attack, which would add 2 more Sneak Attack feats.

- The last 2 paragon feats could be used for for alternate weapon feats or other paragon environmental feats like levitation. Because the Skill Mastery feat prevents skill penalty from layer penalties, I would not take any more than one Adaptivity feat.
- Appraise can be changed out after Hell Store.
- Reminder to use "!opt tauntpp" to have taunt function to use pick pocket skill. Add some minor damage from using taunt swift action on enemies.
- Level 80 skill notes are suggestions. With +20 Bard song , +10 x6 demigod, +5 Prell = +35 to most skills. Need +15 from gear and/or paragon points to hit the 50 cap. Demigod bonuses to skills do not give a bonus to any rogue skills like OL, DT, Search, PP, UMD.
- While DT is only 126, there are no traps in Hell before Nessus that require higher than 126 DT.
- While not amazing attack bonus, do get +4 to hit while sneaking. I think there are less than 10 endgame creatures that are immune to pure rogue sneak attack.
- Divine Power from items will not increase LBAB, but will give an extra 2 attacks per round. It is very important to use an item with divine power to maximize damage.
- Gird would add 4, Stolen Lifeforce 1, XR studded armor 2, vestige or xr amulet 1, xr or vestige shield 1-2.
- Large Shield dexterity cap is 18, would get one more ac from dexterity at 80 if use a small shield.
