I don't want this charachter to be a real hack and slash dude so i wonder if this is a nice way to spice up combat a little? Or is it just a waste of skill points?
I also wonder if there is some nice class i can dual to a little (im a warrior)...i dont know which class but not roughe..
Parry bites bad; definitely not worth it. It is supposed to replace the Expertise Feat in PnP, but doesn't work anywhere near as good. Avoid it like the plague. Put points in Persuade and Discipline instead.

Unless you plan to take Tomi as a henchman, a good place to add some levels in is thief. This gives you the ability to find and disarm traps (or even set them, if you learn the skill). However, your best bet is to take your first level of thief right at the beginning (1st level), since all of their abilities to find traps, etc. are now skills, and you get extra skill points at first level.
