Now there are some fast and easy tweaks to be made here if you need something with a better punch.

1. Drop INT to 14 and bump up STR.
2. At level 10, instead take Weapon Specialization.
3. At level 21, take Epic Weapon Focus and Epic Weapon Specialization.

You'll lose some hit points in the end, but maybe you need the damage output. NOTE:

lvl 6 F Mobility, Spring Attack
lvl 8 F Whirlwind Attack Check the rules in my sig regarding format, please.

Regarding similar builds there are a good number (2 with identical lvl split) yet it seems no one is a dexer halfling). Please, mention it next time.


Cheers,
Kail

It's quite playable at low levels actually. Guess it depends on your server.

If a 20+ AC and 14AB at level 1 is unplayable I'd be surprised.

You got AC 16 at lvl 1 plus armor. Say AC 18-20. dmg:1d4-2 and AB 7. You need 2 or 3 blows to kill a 1/2HD creature. That is trouble!

so, yes, a 14 AB at level 1 is probably reasonable to assume in that environment. It's +7 with no gear at all, so getting +7 more from a weapon and some DEX gear shouldn't be all that difficult to achieve in a high magic setting.

At level 1? Well if you say so.....
If that's what he starts with it's playable on that high magic server, but not generally. Even in most high magic server this guy would suffer from serious playability issues early on. They might even have level restrictions on. I'm not saying anything bad about the build, just that it needs a few levels to become playable.

I run the Pre-Epic Builders guild. Join and share your experience. Sure. I've only had limited experience with high magic servers, but the couple I was on started you off with +3 or better gear. So, with a +3 Bracer and +3 Monk boots, that's +3 DEX bonus right there. Add in a +3 weapons, and you get +6 to your AB right off for a total of +13 AB without any magic effects active (Bless, Cat's Grace, etc.)

I agree that this is very environment specific, and not at all playable in any other kind of environment though.
