Thirded and four-whatever. Take a look at the alternate Swashbuckler class abilities in PHB2 and Complete Mage, it gives you some great abilities in exchange for the boring Grace and Dodge things and all while keeping maximum sneak attack damage with just a few rogue levels.

I'd rather make it similar to the Slow Burst weapon, e.g. Dazing happens when a critical hit is scored.

Right.

What about the prestige paladin? Cleric spellcasting and all paladin goodies. I'd get higher Con and lower Dex.

Everything that has barbarian or bard written on it.

I'm looking forward to a small horde of Belksters next time my group rolls characters... I don't know yet whether that's good or bad...

I'd second that crawling 5ft while being prone is a move or even full round action, so I would never allow a 5ft step while being prone.

Fighter? No! Think about going the Swashbuckler/Rogue route with the Daring Outlaw feat for full sneak attack, better BAB, good hp and some bonus feats (and Insightful Strike). Add in feats like Dual Strike and/or Two Weapon Pounce and your TWF char will rock the battlefloor. Take the Shield...

Yoinked!

Remember: Divine Might + many monk attacks = interesting.

High druidic spellcasting plus the Green Whisperer class make the class a viable spellcaster with good secondary fighting skills. Since I love archers with secondary spellcasting, it was rather ok... for a main melee fighter you lack hitpoints.

You need only one level and these builds don't reach high paladin levels anyhow due to LA stacking.

Snap Kick and the Feat that improves your unarmed damage (both Bo9S) are a good idea for this build. You might take a longsword twohanded for charges and standard actions and use it with flurry and Snap kick for many many attacks if you can use full attack actions.

*** IGNORE BUTTON *** ;) Yupp, you're right, for the high Cha Paladin it's a bad weapon. Most high str and cha builds would start with an LA race and add the half-dragon template (for example, half-celestial works too or both).

Bastard sword: Rocks if you use the Exotic Weapon Master since you can add twice your str bonus if you use it as twohanded weapon. Costs some feats as well but if you have a char with str 40... ;)

Ascetic Knight doesn't work too well with VoP IIRC since the feat is more for the armored knight who uses additional unarmed attacks.

Halfling pally on flying mount with bow. Pick a halfling subrace with CHA+2. :D

I always use accumulated bleeding. No PC losses so far.

High DC build with Spell Focus and Gnome bonus and enjoy Color Spray. With two rogue archers in the group, it's one of the most deadly level 1 spells out there (area stun effect). We killed several ogres that way with level 1 and 2 chars.
