NOTE: The above three skills are the essentials; you have so many skill points that it's really up to you what you want to do with them.
NOTE: Max out Hide, Move Silently, and Tumble by level 8 and you will have access to both Assassin and Shadowdancer when you need them.
VITALS~ Attack Bonus: 34/29/24 and 31/26 (With a mundane Whip and Kukri in off-hand) Armor Class: 27 (naked, unbuffed) Hit Points: 240 Saving Throws: Fortitude 16, Reflex 33, Will 15 Special: Death Attack DC 41 24d6 Sneak Attack Damage Hide in Plain Sight Use Poison
Why Great Cleave, you ask? If you pop up in the middle of a group of baddies and hit one of them with two 24d6 Death Attacks (the first two attacks will happen almost simultaneously), the next baddy takes 24d6 in the back, and then next, and so on until one of them survives or they're all dead. Worst case, some of them do survive, but at least one of them has a -2 Strength penalty, and then you use Hide in Plain sight and rinse and repeat.
The feat progression is taking into account slow level-progression (defensive feats are taken first). Prestige Classes don't factor in for xp penalties due to level-gaps, so you're solid there as well.

Hi All
OK I built this guy and you can't take 12 levels of assassin pre-epic so I took rogue for levels 19 &20 then two levels of assassin, then the one level of SD and the rest assassin, it works out the same, you get all the feats, not sure if this has any impact.
