: Quick Idea...

So, at the last minute i'm drawing up a character for my game tomorrow(my cleric died ;_;).

Hastily thought-up ideas...

SwordSage3/SA+(Hit and run?)Fighter2/Avenger2/Teflammar Shadowlord 4 +Shadow Walker(cant see a way around this)

Total level = 12

Race... Thinking whisper Gnome

Stats: number in ( ) is base
(10)Str:8(-2 Gnome)
(18)Dex:24(gnome+2+2SW+2 ability points)
(16)con:16(+2gnome-2SW)
(14)Int:14
(12)Wis:12
(10)Cha:8(-2 gnome)

This gives a Sneak attack of 6d6, BAB of 8, alot of d6 hit dice, spells from 2 lists, Death attack, shadow pounce, etc.

Any good? Should I just drop Avenger and pick up two more levels of Swordsage? Or SA fighter?

as always, all books allowed as well as dragon material.
bluhh!

anyone?

bueler?


Also, just realized that the shadow jaunt maneuver line do not require any other manuevers to take.

Would it make sense to do a warblade/bloodclawmaster/tefSL with shadow stride/jaunt (from an item/feat)?

Maybe throw in a few levels of swashbuckler?

I have a friend who's playing something a lot like this right now. He's limited to just 4 books, but he's still quite scary.

Water Halfling Cobra Strike/Sleeping Tiger Monk 2/Warblade 4/unarmed Swordsage 2/Telflammar Shadowlord 4/MoTN 1

Flaw: Battle Jump
1st: Darkstalker
1st: Improved Unarmed Strike (Monk Bonus)
1st: Dodge (Cobra Strike Monk Bonus)
2nd: Improved Initiative (Sleeping Tiger Monk Bonus)
3rd: Blind-Fight
6th: Adaptive Style
9th: Spring Attack
12th: Shadow Blade
Bonus: Weapon focus (Swordsage), Mobility (Armor)

Collar of Umbral Metamorphosis is important!
Stuff he'd want: Craven! Drow Fighter!

He's using Maneuvers and Shadowlord to Teleport as a Standard/Move Action, and items for the Swift Action ones. Also has Leaping Flame for an Immediate Action Teleport to kill annoying ranged guys.

You could get around the need for shadow walker by taking the shape soulmeld (blink shirt) feat, which gives you a dimension door ability as a spell like ability, which would count for qualification.

Maneuvers that Teleport you are SU.

SU? I think it specifically says either Dimension door or Shadow jumping as the Shadow dancers ability..
