First round, I try to win initiative against someone and full attack with hand crossbows, which I then drop for Rapier & Short Sword.  With these, I then charge into melee (I'm getting Two Weapon Pounce @ 6) and try to get flanking S.A.  Alternatively, if melee isn't presenting itself as a sane or flanky option, I lurk around in the shadows for a round or two more trying to S.A. with a crossbow bolt per round.

As for skills, well, I've got them. Lots.

I'll be doing the "Can't touch me" schtick, with Flashing Sun, Flurry of Blows and Burning Blade all at once to take down targets(after stunning them, if they're dangerous) early. The -4 to hit might be a tad inconvenient, but it'd hit often enough with a bit of flanking/stunning. The shurikens are decorative until next level when I can get Assassin's Stance.

On the non combat side, it's all mobility skills for me, plus stealth.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

CHA is my mainstay, I need it.

is this stat array acceptable http://yellowrex.com/tools/pbcalc.php?str=8&dex=10&con=10&iq=12&wis=3&cha=14&str_mod=-3&dex_mod=1&con_mod=-3&iq_mod=3&wis_mod=1&cha_mod=1&race=12
Erm, as long as none of the players mind you dropping your stats below 8...

  So, are people cool with it sr=tarting below 8?

  Few other question for you Word. Can we use the Dead Level features that Wizards has online? I want my Swashbuckler to be able to seduce with the best  ;). Two, where are the rules for the Spell-less Paladin, Ranger, etc? Last, are templates cool and how do you want to deal with templates and races that come with spell-like abilities?

Complete Warrior, or Complete Champion, depending on what variant you want.

If you give me a link to the dead level features, I'll be happy to look them over. Binder and Sixth have covered the spellless variants. Templates would have to be approved on a case by case basis, and we could discuss spell-likes in the same manner.

Still need a character sheet from Sixth, and Woodenbandman's is still unfinished. Innabinder could also use some possessions...
