You lose one AB from that build but you don't fight with a spear. And you pick up slightly better saves and a few skill points. And it levels different. I hope that is enough to warrant posting a build with the exact same ending levels.

Martial/Rapier permits the use of shield, which will add + 8 to the build's AC if + 5 equipment is allowed. Exotic/Scythe gives you the two-hander strength bonus to damage (which is substantial with this build (14 v. 21 strength bonus to damage) and a hgher crit multiplier (x5) but has a lower crit range. Great Sword may be a compromise between the two.

AC (10 base + 2 dex + 5 medium armor + 8 tumble + 4 RDD + 1 dodge + 2 Armor Skin = 32 [+ 3 if rapier/shield = 35]

Neither Bard nor RDD has Intimidate as a class skill, so you have to cross-class the skill to 4 by level 12. This costs you an additional 4 skill points.

So there.

Ithacan RDD(10) seems to be very popular these days .
