I haven't tried a trapper yet, so I was going to give the Rogue 19, Fighter 6, MS 5 build a try.

I am having some difficulty spreading out the skill points, because I am not sure how much I need of some of the trap skills or UMD.

I will have 302 skill points at level 30, and will have to spend 10 on skills I don't necessarily intend to increase (6 on lore, 2 on spot, 2 on listen).

I figure I will need 33 points in:
Discipline,
Hide,
Move Silently,
& Heal

That's 132 points

I'll need 30 in Tumble,

Leaving 102 points to distribute. I was also looking at the following skills primarily:
Use Magical Device
Craft Trap
Set Trap
Disable Trap
Open Lock
Search

And then social skill secondarily:
Bluff
Appraise
Persuade

I am particularly not sure how much I need in UMD, and trap skills. Also, given that I would have the opportunity, should I take the Opportunist Rogue feat, and how would this effect the skill spread?

Thanks!

Also, I'd really appreciate finesse weapon recommendations. Thanks!

Get 30 in each

Craft Trap
Set Trap
Disable Trap

If you want to be a 'trapper.' For sure.

Thanks,

But that would only leave 12 points to spread across search, open lock, and UMD... That makes me nervous

How much UMD do I need?

I personally don't find UMD all that useful unless you want/need to use scrolls, and that I think means you need like 10?

My math function went offline. I meant 130 instead of 102 above. Getting 30 in each of the trap skills will give me a remainder of 40 points to distribute.

so assuming I need 10 (11 because of 8 charisma) for scrolls, that leaves 29 points to spread over open lock and search. How would you spread them?

Handaxe and Rapier are your two best finesse weapons, with Shortsword and Dagger coming in at 2nd and 3rd.

Opportunist is not good. You may be thinking of Skill Mastery. I still don't recommend taking it over Crippling Strike.

If skill points are a problem, you could go less than 30 in craft trap. In my experience, all you need is some crafting equipment and you're easily at what you need. Unless you really want craft trap for the RPz.
