They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Here's an alternative to the Avatar of Ruin. It basically switches the RDD levels for Fighter levels, picking up dual wielding and three extra attacks. I also went for an elf instead of a human or halfling.

I owe a vote of thanks to Wildeyes and his Avatar of Ruin for this build, which he dubbed the Slicety-Master. I thought Skald of Shar had a better sound to it though.

Advantages
-Epic Warding -4 levels of Bard spells. -Immunity to Critical Hits. Combine this with epic warding and you have an opponent very few can touch, though some of my builds would still hit him for 10-20 points of damage. -Devastating Critical. With a potential (12-20 X2) critical range this is pretty good. -Use Magic Devices. Granted a low level, but he should still be able to use some scrolls.
Disadvantages
-Low hit points. -Low Saving Throws. He doesn't really have any spell resistance, but he does have silence. -Low AB. Still pretty good for this mix of classes.
