Playable from level 1 - 40 .PvM

This build is the Self-Concealed version of my Dwarven Mafiabuild. Thanks go to Grizzled Dwarflord for the suggestions on how to incorporate the SC feats.

S/he gains full-time 50% concealment at the cost of 1 AC, 1 AB, and 1d6 Death Attack. Not a bad deal, IMHO. Unless of course, you're playing on a PW that is rife with True Seeing bosses

You forgot your fighter bonus feat at Lvl 21. After that, I'd say he makes for a solid assassin build.

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! Can someone clear this up for me? (Apologies Kal, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but it's slightly on-topic): I see a lot of builds with Monk taken late and having Discipline as a 'maxed' skill. I was under the impression Discipline is cross-class for Monks. Is this not so (probably not, since I see it so often)?

It's rogue, dammit, ROGUE!!! AFAIK, and according to the grimoire, monks have discipline. I have read that they didnt have it, (maybe in the first NWN version) it would not make much sense if monks didnt have it.

It is a class skill for Monks, discipline being the essence of Monks, hence my suggestion to Kal to take the fighter early in epic and use the Monk to cap it out.

Thank you for the info. Much as I dislike the class, I have to agree that of all skills, Discipline seems the most suited to them. I always thought it odd that it wasn't a class skill - but it turns out it is, so I guess that means I'm the odd one. Oh well, that's not news...
_________________
It's rogue, dammit, ROGUE!!! It is now a class skill but iirc in the earliest NWN versions it wasn´t. My manual lists it as cross class skill. Only fighters, barbarians and bards had discipline as class skill. Then because lot of players complained it was changed and it became a class skill for monks, paladins and rangers.

Ack. Thanks for pointing that out Grizz.

Griphook, could you please change Level 21 to read:
"21 Fighter 6 EWF: Kama, *EWS: Kama"

Thanks. And thanks for fixing my broken link!

Who cares, self-concealment is just as good vs true seeing.

Is that right? I was under the impression that True Sight negated the concealment benefits of SC.
