This is an older build of mine (6-9 months old?) that I never posted. I'm posting it now as a point of interest in comparison to Grizzled_Dwarflord's amazing "The Assassin King" While Grizz's build uses the same class and level distribution, his character is Strength-based and quite a different critter.

(While this build is no longer in play by me, any constructive criticism is always welcome.)

Kal, cool build, and a nice 'mirror' of Grizz's STR build.

A couple points (I can tell it's an old one of yours):

Drop the Imp Sneak Attack, as it's bugged with respect to Assns and doesn't engage unless you have Rogue or BG levels. Just take a couple GRT DEX instead. +1 AB and +1 AC, what's not to like?

You have Tumble at 43. Drop it to 40 (this is old hat to you by now, that's why I can tell it's an old build of yours with a 43 in it).

Also, raise your UMD to 41 to cover the -1 CHA penalty.

You have EWF and EWS:Rapier, but you don't have WF or WS in that weapon. (You have your EWS:Short Sword at level 39)

Cheers, Dad!

Thanks Cinn - I appreciate the input. Doh on my typos! I'll ask griphook to correct them.

(Do you recognize this build? This was one I played on Dragon's Fall!)
