This is a build I threw together just to see if it was possible.

The things I wanted to try and combine was dev crit, epic dodge,
50 % concealment, 10 rdd levels, bard and curse song with lasting inspiration.

For the longest time I thought it would be impossible, but by sacrificing everything
else I figured out at least one way of doing it.

I've not play tested it anywhere, but it should be possible to play it from 1 to 40.
Perhaps not sane, but possible.

I found one build using the same classes and levels, but without lasting inspiration.

As it turns out adding that feat makes all lot of a difference because rdd 10 must
wait until level 40.

All skill points must be used for the pre reqs by level 10.

Because charisma stays at 14 until level 40(rdd) this char can't use bard spells
from level 5 and 6 even though he ends up with 20 bard levels and 16 charisma.

Have you built it in a lvl up module?
If I recall correctly, you need weapon focus in the chosen weapon to be able to take overwhealming- and devastating critical.

It works.

The manual is wrong regarding that feat. Not too surprising realy. The manual is probably what the dev team intended but they messed it up. I'd say it was a bug. Its not so much a bug as a limitation. Epic Dodge is another victim of that limitation. They could only put so many prerequisites into the system. As a result you do not need weapon focus for over/dev crit and you do not need Dodge for Epic dodge.

It's SHADOWDANCER, dammit, shadowdancer!!! Very true on the no Dodge needed for Epic Dodge, but to keep things clear, so that nobody thinks they can remove the Dodge feat, and replace it with something else of their liking; Dodge is a prerequisite for the Shadow Dancer Class
