========

I wanted a nasty whip build, so Blackguard/Assasin came to mind. I chose Monk for speed and a bit of ac.

The server I play on grants HIPS to 8th level Assasins.

I chose to have 14 Cha in order to benefit the BG side of me.

I chose 2 extra Improved Sneak Attacks over 2 great dex since I wanted more punch to the whip.

Assasin was kept at 20 instead of 19 since one more BG would not give me anything, and 1 more monk would only make me immune to poison (which my save is already pretty good against). The extra Assasin level helps my Death attack DC.

Stunning Fist DC = 30
Death Attack DC = 32
Sneak type damage = 16d6

I chose to take Monk up to lvl 9 for Improved Evasion. the 10th level was a skill dump at the end for max Disc.

BAB @20 is 17.

The high UMD on this build will also help him buff up.

Elf was taken for more dex, Human could have been used also without much change to the build. A sinister whip build - looks good, Bromium - an evil swashbuckler/combra type, and elf -- Nice! (I like him)

Staying away from the ED debate, I'd be tempted to swap some of the stealth foci for i.e. wf/ewf unarmed or kamas (dem be some nice skills, though - Yar!, but since you're dex-based & not wearing armor etc., why not be even more sinister so to speak/have the option to flurry etc. too, yes?) ~ Tyr (yar, just me eight-pieces of silver as they say

That's a very strong build you have there. Not sure though, but would you consider, seeing as that build focuses mainly on sneaking, and has a pretty good AC, going Human instead and gaining 80 more HP? It seems like it allow that build to stand toe to toe much better, considering as you wouldn't need to stay in combat for long amounts of time with HIPS.

On another note, about the 8 Assassin=HIPS, do you play on the PvP server Antiworld?

Thanks.

No, I'm playing on an RP (PvP lite) server named Reconstructed Nordock. *shameless plug* It's curious to see that some PWs ban Shadowdancers for they HiPS while others grant HiPS to Assassins for free.

Like it, seems nice (especially with HiPS), too bad you're not wearing kamas, but I'll let go because it's an RP world . Changed the build a bit to get whip sooner.

lvl 6: Exotic Weapons
lvl 9: Weapon Focus Whip
lvl 12: Improved Crit Whip
lvl 15: Blind Fight

===

This doesn't change the nature of the build, it simply allows me to use a whip a lot sooner. That's better for RP and style. I'm sorry I'm bumping this but as on my servewr you don't get HiPS for free at 8th assasin level is there a way you could fit SD into this?

Kind Regards

Add 5 levels of SD and 5 levels of Assn. End result, slightly lower AB, but you now have HiPS, Epic Dodge and +3d6 sneak dice. Oh, and more skills. Might have to drop a feat here or there for Dodge and Mobility, but no biggie.

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! What I find humurous (and this may just be because I am used to playing tabletop) is that the assassin actually does get HIPS in tabletop. *shrugs* can't imagine why he/she shouldn't get it on here too.

Seraph Where can I find this server you mention?
