nice char, yet again. the saves are pretty nice. even the mind isn't that bad. plus, with the abundance of clarity scrolls and potions, along with scrolls of less mind blank and immunity to mind spells...well, nothing to really worry about, IMO.

but don't mention elvish weapons and dwarves together in the same post. if yuo know who hears, his beard will be aflame with anger.

Nice skill set, good defense, and beautiful saves. Your offense might not always be up there though. Nice build, very good dex-based defender. Carry scrolls of improved invisibility and you'll be very hard to hit and almost impossible to kill with weapons.

It's for purely practical reasons You could always use a handaxe lol.

IMO this is the one of the more playable ED Defenders And gets higher AB than some of the others. Also, it's more offensive (really) since it has room for IKD and has sneaks if you care to use them, and gets them pre-epic.

.."..".. If you can't knock them down (there exists many builds who can resist KD's with 40 AB) how will you deliver sneak attacks?
And what if they are sneak immune?
Don't get me wrong, it's a nice build. UMD, maybe drop Hide/MS (and maybe pick up heal) or points in open lock and get set traps. Maybe that's the better idea...

Skill Distr (286 points):
Discipline: 42(43)
Tumble: 40(49)
Hide: 43(52)
Move Silently: 43(52)
UMD: 42(40)

Search: 20(22)
Disable Trap: 22(26) <-- recover all non-epic traps with take-20
Set Trap: 14(25) <-- set all non-epic traps (not in combat)
Open Lock: 19(28)
Pick Pocket: 1(10) <-- loot bodies; more options

Maybe take skill mastery instead of slippery mind if you're really worried about it but that comes level 40. I guess damage depends somewhat on where your playing this char. On higher magic worlds, I don't think it'd be such a big problem.
