Help with a Soul eater

[Littha]

Ok, Soul eater is an awesome class and as I am building a melee character i thought I'd give it a go. However, I have no idea what to take after I finish the class... Help and idea's needed

Race: Elan
Battle dancer 5/Soul Eater 10/??? 5

Battle Dancer 5 nets me +5 BAB and the natural weapon needed along with some other fun stuff (Tumble up to my move speed each round is awesome...)
As the soul eaters energy drain should trigger each time I hit my opponent more attacks would be nice, otherwise anything that makes the energy drain better helps.

Also, anyone know a feat that gets you tumble as a class skill?

You don't really need all 10 levels a good stop is lvl 7 I think when you do two levels per hit.

[Mushroom]

Yeah, instead of going for 10/10, you could take a few levels of warshaper

[JohnnyMayHymn]

Totemist or monk(monks belt) can get you extra attacks, so can the binder feats(or dip), and snap kick type feats, a cleric dip get you the gluttony domain for a bite attack

[altpersona]

need aberations, tentacles, gorillions arms, hydra shape...

The most effective way to play a Soul Eater is as a Totemist abomination with 17+ attacks per round. 4 BAB + 1 Flurry + 1 Snap Kick + 4 Claws + 2 Tentacles + 8 Improved RapidStrike + 1 Bite + 2 Slam + 1 Rake + 1 Rend is 24 attacks off the top of my head.

That's before you shapechange.

Better to take the Warshaper levels at the end to make it Battle Dancer 5/Soul Eater 10/Warshaper 5.  Being able to Shapechange into anything you drain is incredibly awesome, not to mention it allows you to qualify for Warshaper in the first place.

Far less of a late bloomer than the above build (comes into its own at level 8)
Pledge to Serve an Elder Evil, uses partial bab, uses Psionic adapation of Abjurant Champion

Use Natural World to get Metamorphosis turn into a scary hydra, go to town.
Make sure to Grab Worg Pelt (at level 11) to make all your normal hydra attacks to get an extra free trip attack in.  Or if you research Open Chakra Psionic you can do this at level 9

17/20 manifesting though due to how Ardent does learning psionic powers you are almost 20/20.

I actually played something like this before in a Martial Gestalt Arena. Here it is. It was pretty stupid to play, all of the matches ended in draws. None of us could hit each others AC and had so much Fast Healing.

Shame soul eater does nothing vs undead. Spark of life ftw!
