[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5629121, member: 35909"] As an update, I decided the original idea wouldn't work out too well. He does great when he can SA, but otherwise he only does d3 damage, which...means he's a complete support character in those instances. Also, every little facet of how the Returning property works and inevitably makes it difficult to do just about anything in combat is frustrating, so now I'm working on a different character. Dwarf Rogue 6 /Fighter 2 /Master Thrower 5 /Bloodstorm Blade 4. Much more hp and can ranged power attack (up to 100 ft; or up to 600 ft with Javelins though the chance of hitting is pitiful) for good damage even when SA doesn't apply and ultimately just as good with traps and locks, but no stealth or social skills ability at all, and significantly worse AC. Currently still building him, the non-core stuff I'm using is: Master Thrower PrC Bloodstorm Blade PrC Martial Study and Martial Stance feats (required to enter Bloodstorm Blade) Novice iron Heart Vest Novice Diamond Mind Ring Latter two just let me use another maneuver once/encounter and aren't essential, they just help to keep him from being dominated and turning on the party and such (plan to use them for IH Surge and Moment of Perfect Mind).
