I believe you get +1 AC/AB and saves with halfling but this is not reflected in the stats. If so, then add 1 to everything. He has low HPs but with all that stealthy protection, he does not need a lot. I prefer Expertise for an AC boost but Imp Knockdown is also viable and kinda necessary since he's a Halfling.

Most people do not like lots of levels of SD because the Shadow Evade only lasts 5 rounds. It's been my experience that on many persistent worlds, shadowdancers are boosted a bit to compensate for this. For example, where I play your shadow evade lasts 2 rounds per level of SD which on this build really pays off. Also, the epic Shadowlord has concealment further sweetening the deal.

Even without the enhancements, the extra feats in epic levels are the biggest bonus.

Yeah, halflings do get +1 ac/ab and saves because of small stature.Nice choice picking handaxes btw, one of my prefered weapons for dexers. IIRC the epic shadowlord doesn't have concealment, unlike the preepic one.
Also 12 more rogue lvls (at the expense of SD) would net you 6d6 sneaks at the cost of 1 epic feat, which is not a bad tradeoff IMO. I would get a high set trap skill, it's always a useful resource. Also I would start with 10 STR, 12 CON you're not gonna carry heavy armor after all.

Cheers,
Kail

Aye, I know the normal epic shadowlord does not have concealment but on the PW I play on, it has been modified to have it.

Thanks for the comments.

http://www.dormaeglinunderdark.com/ I question the use of handaxes. It's considered a medium weapon for halflings, thus giving you a -4/-4 to your AB. In a build that already has 25 levels of Shadowdancer, can one really afford such a penalty? You need +4 Weapons just to break even.
