I'm looking for a build that contains the following feats
Dev Crit Epic Dodge SC V Dual Shortswords
Now I know that this means that my dex and Str will have to be high but im willing to sacrifice CInt, Wis and Cha for this (and Con if needed)
Can anyone direct me to this type of build ?

Epic dodge and dev crit is pretty easy...but those and SC5 is impossible im afraid.
Hmm I was hoping for some type of fighter/shadowdancer type of build but I can't work it out.... guess it is impossible. Would be a nice combo to have though. _________________ Escape From Undermountain - A NWN Online Mod.

It's nice.. but a tad to nice and therefore has run away with the pixies

Actually, it is possible to get dev crit, epic dodge, and Self Concealment V in one build, but not with dual wielding (weapon finesse, ambidexterity, TWF, and ITWF is just to much to cram in). Plus, you would basically have to send all your other stats besides str and dex to the crapper (although the RDD bonuses will help them a little). You could do it with either single wielding (in which case, I'd use a rapier) or with a longbow (preferably with a nice mighty value to take advantage of your strength). Anyway, here's how you would build the rapier version:
Race: Elf Starting stats: STR 17 DEX 20 (all stat increases go here) CON 7 WIS 8 INT 8 CHA 8
Pre-epic: Rogue(9)/Bard(1)/RDD(10)
These can be taken in almost any order, although you'd have to take the bard level by level 10 at the latest, or else you won't be able to get 10 levels of RDD pre-epic.
Skills: Max Hide and Tumble on every rogue/bard level. Also make sure you have 8 lore by level 10 at the latest, so that you can get 10 levels of RDD pre-epic.
Feats: Dodge, Weapon Finesse, Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Weapon Focus (Rapier), Improved Crit (Rapier)
Epic: All of these levels are rogue levels. Make sure to max hide and tumble at each level, at least until they reach 30 ranks each.
21 - Great Dex I, Improved Evasion 22 - 23 - 24 - Defensive Roll, Overwhelming Critical (Rapier) 25 - 26 - 27 - Epic Dodge, Devastating Critical (Rapier) 28 - 29 - 30 - Great Dex II, Crippling Strike 31 - 32 - (at this point, you've reached 30 DEX) 33 - Self Concealment I 34 - 35 - SC II 36 - SC III 37 - 38 - 39 - SC IV, SC V 40 -
Final: Rogue(29)/Bard(1)/RDD(10)
Stats: STR 25 DEX 32 CON 9 WIS 8 INT 10 CHA 10
So, you've got pretty crappy hitpoints (max of 224 I believe) but a naked AC of 29, and you've got dev crit, epic dodge, and SC V. If you want to do this with a longbow, then switch weapon finesse for point blank shot, and switch all the weapon feats (weapon focus, improved crit, etc.) to longbow instead of rapier. Honestly it will get creamed solo, but could be a useful companion for a tank character.

WOW thanks for that. I'm going to put this into a builder and see how it turns out.
I just remembered that there is an item (gauntlets) in the mod I play on that givs me ambi and twf so I will try that out.
Thanks so much for that! _________________ Escape From Undermountain - A NWN Online Mod.

Thats impressive.
If there's an item to give you ambi/TWF, then switch rapier to short swords in this build and you can certainly dual wield. Still can't get improved two-weapon fighting, but you'll still have an extra attack at near full AB in your offhand. The build also has an XP penalty for most of its life, but there's no way around that; an elf is the only race that can make this build work. And of course, the most important equipment for this build would be CON boosting gear. Some high level Boots of Striding or Boots of Hardiness would go a loooooooong way in make this build more playable...the low int/wis/cha are no problem in the least, but the low con will hurt unless you boost it. Of course, it's slightly less of a problem if you are in party with some tanks, especially with the longbow version where you can stay 15 feet away and still sneak attack. Anyway, I may post this on the epic builds list later today, mostly as a curiosity showing it is theoretically possible to get all of those feats.

Well Im running through the mod that I play on and its doing ok so far on the lower levels of Undermountain. There is definatly some +5 gear there that can boost my CON that I am looking into.
Now that you have linked me to the SD build Syrath I knew I had seen it before. I like this build as it get a nice 10d6 sneak attack score at the end of its life as well which can help with the damage. As for the AB I've stared with some UMD so I can boost it with things like truestrike/devine power scrolls.
Thanks for the help with this one guys I will let you know how it goes. _________________ Escape From Undermountain - A NWN Online Mod.
