Yet another Halfling Kukri wielder, but a concealed one.
the goal was to get a Dex Base rogue, with Epic Dodge, Maxed self-concealment, but also Epic weapon specialization, to counterbalance a little the lake of strength a deal some more damages, and also to have improved knockdown, wich seems to me a necessity for a soloing rogue, in order to deal some sneak attacks.
Feel free to comment , I'm playing this character for some time now, and having great fun with him.

WM 7 is a waste of time. You get +1 AB, and the basic critical bonuses for ... what? 5 feats? Drop rogue to 19, and fighter to 8. It'll make up more for your expenditure without taxing you overmuch.
Besides that - this is a happy fun-time cause mass carnage with your toes build. _________________ CATS!
WM 7 gives an extented 2 critical range, wich I think is greatly valuable, having crits on 10-20 with a keen weapon means hitting 55% of the time against non crit-immune foes....
regarding your other comments, i dont figure how having ED ans SC5 by dropping either Fighter or Rogue levels

But if they're not immune Critical Hits, you'll be slaughtering them with Sneak Attacks. _________________ "... C'est un pays plus nu que la terre polaire — Ni bêtes, ni ruisseaux, ni verdure, ni bois!

The point is that with your base damage, the increased crit range and multiplier will hardly make a difference. Even with magical weapons. I would even consider going dagger to save a feat. You would increase you amount of feats by going Rogue 28, Fighter12. Having Rogue12 pre-epic and taking ED at lvl 21. When you feel the need to start with 20 DEX, then use it to max efficiency. you should still have room for SCV. _________________ Dragonlance ROH is back, better than before! and I spend a little time here WoG
Criticals don't multiply sneak attacks, and if you're fighting something you can crit on, you can sneak attack it to death in short order with 21 rogue levels. _________________ Experience is the mother of good judgement; bad judgement is the father of experience.

Pity that crits need to be actual hits first and need to be confirmed too, so that in practice a 10-20 crit range might be no better than a, say, 17-20 one.

A. Rogue 19 doesn't get you any more feats than rogue 21.
B. You only lose one melee feat, with which you can drop exotic weapon proficiency and work with daggers, since the change isn't significant.
C. You're an SCV/ED build. Criticals aren't going to help your pathetic damage 1d4+6 much. _________________ CATS!

I think criticals are much important, especially for a low strength build : low damage issue, better deal them more often....
as far as I calculate, a kukri weapon master deals more damages than a normal scythe wielder (with same BAB and strength) not even taking dual wielding into account.
