I ended up with these skills but you can change some of them if you wish, but the Shadowdancer requires at least [Hide 10] and [Move Silently 8].

Discipline: 43
Hide: 10
Listen: 18
Move Silently: 8
Tumble: 40


HP: With maxed-out rolls you will get 460 hps.


AC = 39 (Naked)


Spell Resistance = 35


AB = +38/+35/+32/+29/+26/+23


Saves

Fort 27
Reflex 30
Will 28 First off I love this board. You guys are excellent and have helped me work out kinks I did not know existed in my builds.

BUT then there are posts like such...

For everyones sake please do not use the spreadsheet to create your characters and if you do be aware of the *red* values as they mean something is wrong.

You'll have a hard time hurting anything for a good amount of time and with so little skill points SD just gives access to ED, forget about using HiPS (one of the most useful class abilities in all NWN)
Also your AB is lowish, and IKS are AFAIK a waste of feats, just get some decent gloves to pierce DR. Circle kick is bugged and therefore probably not worth the feat and spring attack another wasted feat with all your tumble ranks (and considering you are a dexer going around just in monks robes!)
I'd change starting stats to:
STR 12
DEX 16 (30)
CON 14
INT 14
WIS 14
CHA 6

HP: 460
Skill points: 248
Tumble 40
Hide 43
Move Silently 43
Discipline 43
Spellcraft 18
leftover 43 points

I'd move 4 more FTR lvls preepic to increase BAB, going Monk 12/FTR 8, probably drop circle kick and spring attack and get called shot and blind fighting and maybe save boosters, then in epic drop the IKS to make up for the two lost FTR bonus feats.
Final AB: 17(BAB) +3(WF/EWF) +1(EP) +10(DEX)=41
Final AC: 10(base) +8(tumble) +2(AS) +2(WIS) +5(monk) +10(DEX)=37

+3AB, +lotsa skill points, usable HiPS, more feats preepic, increased carrying capacity, able to speak properly and a lot more playable at the cost of -2 AC...not bad IMHO
Actually I wouldn't go dwarf, but I understand one either goes human or accepts an xp penalty.

Just a fast revision, I hope it helps

Cheers,
Kail
