Is this build possible? Maybe SD/Fighter/RDD? Your thoughts please.
You need either Bard or Sorcerer levels to be an RDD. You'll need to say a bit more to let us know what exactly you're looking for. Tank with epic dodge and RDD is a little vague. You'll basically end up with (Bard or Sorc.)/RDD/(Rogue or Shadowdancer). _________________ Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do.
Now that I think about it is it possible to get Epic Dodge, 7 lvls of WM AND dev crit. I'm thinking best road would be finesse fighter w/ 11+ SD lvls. the 11th SD lvl for maxing hide, move silently and tumble. I want mostly WM and fighter lvls because they get more health points every level than a shadowdancer does. Scratch the RDD, on the server i play on there's a low percentage of being able to become one.

No guarrantees it will be a competent build, because the STR and DEX requirements are high coupled with feat requirements for weapon master, but here goes.
First race: elf, and human come to mind right away. I think I we need a high dex though so we'll start with an elf.
Race Elf
Attributes: You need a 25 Str and a 25 dex, I think I'll go str heavy, but you need a high STR and DEX to begin with, at least a 13 INT and the rest to CON.
Base Attributes STR 16 DEX 18 CON 10 INT 14 WIS 8 CHA 8
Leveling: partially decided by AB, partially by feats. We need at least 16 attribute bonuses (10 from level increases, 6 from epic feats). We need bonus feats, We want at least 16 rogue levels (3 feats: improved evasion, defensive roll and epic dodge). We'll go for 7 WM levels, leaving 16 fighter levels. In epic levels we need overwhelming critical, and devastating critical, epic weapon focus and epic weapon specialization would be nice too. Pre-epic we need dodge, mobility, spring attack, expertise, whirlwind attack, weapon focus, improved critical, power attack, cleave and great cleave. Weapon specialization, knockdown and toughness would be nice too.
Final Level Distribution Fighter 16 Rogue 17 Weapon Master 7
Attribute bonuses Levels 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 40 will increase STR Levels 28, 32 and 36 will increase DEX
Feats Level 1: Dodge Level 2: Weapon Focus () Level 3: Mobility, Expertise Level 5: Weapon Specialization () Level 6: Spring Attack Level 8: Whirlwind Attack Level 9: Improved Critical () Level 10: Knockdown Level 12: Power Attack, Weapon of Choice () Level 15: Cleave Level 18: Great Cleave Level 21: Great Strength I, Epic Weapon Focus () Level 24: Great Strength II Level 27: Great Strength III, Improved Evasion Level 30: Overwhelming Critical (), Great Dexterity I Level 32: Devastating Critical () Level 33: Great Dexterity II Level 34: Defensive Roll Level 36: Great Dexterity III Level 38: Epic Weapon Specialization () Level 39: Great Dexterity IV, Epic Dodge
Final Attributes STR 26 DEX 25 CON 10 INT 14 WIS 8 CHA 8
AB with mundane weapon of choice should be 41/36/31/26
Hit points will be 332 (maximum every level)
Saving Throws will be Fortitude 19 Reflexes 29 Will 15
You should have 292 skill points to spend as you would like.
It won't be a great build, but it might be fun. Watch out for the XP penalty. I don't think that shadowdancer will work as well because you need a hide of 10 which means that you can't take any levels until level 18 and you need at least 13 levels to get epic dodge (need to take it as a bonus feat). It could be done, but I think rogue would end up a bit better. _________________ Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do.
Thanks for the build, will try it out.
