[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Lugar]

Advancing Rogue again. Is Lugar treated as a level 8 character or level 7 concerning ability bonuses / feats, because of his LA+1?

Answered my own question: It goes by hit die

- Your class for the new level: Rogue 5
- Your new feats: None (class feature gained 3d6 sneak attack)
- Your stat increase: None
- Your new / improved skills: +10 = +3 Hide, +7 Use Magic Device
- Your decision on HP: +(4+2) = 6HP

Am I correct that BaB and Saves are unchanged?

Is it too late to change which class to level? I've been looking at what and how to improve my character and am rethinking everything. We already have excellent spell casters, including a bard with a plethora of skills, but only one dedicated melee character. I think I want to go more melee as well and level up as Fighter instead. Is that permissible at this stage? If I'm correct, leveling in Fighter gives Lugar:

- Your class for the new level: Fighter 3
- Your new feats: None
- Your stat increase: None
- Your new / improved skills: +4 (Hide +4)
- Your decision on HP: +(7+2) = 9HP

Also +1 BaB giving Lugar 2 attacks at +6/+1and +1F /+1R/ +1W

I was thinking about buying a magic short bow/ longbow and Quiver of Elhonna but I don't know what the magic items we looted are yet. Lugar may focus on the magic Halberd or Battle Axe / shield combo through the Fighter specialties. Opinions?
