Playable from level 1 - 40 PvM

Ok, spent most of the day working on this build and am looking for feedback. The build is designed for soloing through modules specifically those by B G P Hughes and SubBaseman. It is also designed for play by my wife, a fiery red head. Who doesn't really want to learn what spells do what, and whos combat style can be summed up as run into the middle of more trouble than I should be able to handle.

No reason to take 10WM. Just stop at 7 or go to 13 or 16. 10 is the purgatory of Weapon Master levels.

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! 3 less WM, 3 more rogue nets you another rogue-like feat. epic skill focus perhaps. also, with a few more skillpoints, this can be very effective for anything from setting traps to intimidating to whatever.

Took the liberty of reworking your build slightly based on Christian's and Grizzled Dwarf's suggestions. Also had a very similar strength based build done so it was fairly easy too swap around feats in what I hope you had in mind for your charecter.

Cheers! Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Big thanks to Sirfin. I love what you did with the build. You achieved more with it than I believed possible. I have started reworking my origional build as human and think the end result will be even more satisfying. I will be sure to incorporate everyones suggestions. Hopefully I will be able to post before I have to surrender to my bodies need for sleep.

Most welcome, a pleasure indeed. Have a strength based 'solo' dual weilding charecter done too if you like to take a peek: Click Here

Both are loosely based on Swashbuckler kits from 2ed. But adpated for NWN and 3ed. Enjoy! Love too see your human build as well.

Cheers!
