This Rogue build can wade into the thick of it with little fear of dying. Maximum Defense: The Dueling sustained talent (augmented by Keen Defense), the Dual-Weapon passive abilities, pumping up Dexterity, and item bonuses work together to put the Rogue's defense through the roof. There are some essential ingredients for this build. Here I make a case for an exclusively melee-based Rogue that combines the Duelist and Assassin specializations together. So I started to invest some thought into how Zevran could become a uniquely powerful character in his own right.

After a while it felt like Zevran was just picking up the scraps. In previous run throughs I used to have Zevran pick up whatever leather armors and daggers were left after Leliana had first dibs. Strength 20 Dexterity 34 Willpower 20 Magic 14 Cunning 16 Constitution 10
