Message: <blockquote data-quote="vageta31" data-source="post: 5467822" data-attributes="member: 6669978">So I was messing around with some of the previous build options and had a few ideas. Since a lot of builds around here assume you're starting off at a higher level it doesn't always take progression into account. I want my character to be able to survive and do some damage and not have to wait till level 12 to be useful.1) Rogue1, SA 1d6, Trapfinding, lvl1 Feat: TWF, Human Feat: PBS2) Swash1, Weapon Finesse3) Rogue2, Evasion, lvl3 Feat: precise shot4) Rogue3, Penetrating Strike (from Dungeonscape), SA 2d65) Fighter, bonus feat: WF: dagger6) Fighter, bonus feat: far shot or rapid shot? , lvl 6 feat: craven7) MT1, Quickdraw, Thrown Weapon Trick8) Swash2, Arcane Stunt9) Swash3, Insightful strike, lvl 9 feat: Daring outlaw (SA 3d6)10) Rogue4, Uncanny dodge (SA 4d6)11) Swordsage1, Quick to Act +1, 6 maneuvers, 1 stance (child of shadow or island of blades), weapon focus [shadow hand] (ask to retrain former feat to ITWF)12) SS2, 1 maneuver, Assassin's Stance (bringing SA to 6d6), AC bonus (likely useless), lvl 12 feat: Shadow blade13-17) Master Thrower 2-518-20) rogue or SB2 levels of fighter would net me 2 bonus feats which can be the ones required for MT, then my normal feats could be craven early on do maximize my low SA dice. I'd have to wait for daring outlaw and insightful strike, but craven could help make up for the damage at those levels. Negative is the two fighter feats would take up an extra SA dice if I were to finish up with rogue/swash combo.Of course I could move that build around in just about any way I wanted. Focus is getting as much as I can early. I thought about dropping swash completely and not spending a feat on daring outlaw, but the free weapon finesse(which would use that extra feat Id gain), arcane stunt and insightful strike seem pretty good for this build. I could always do just 2 swash early on, but then Id only be one level from the +int damage bonus so it'd be hard not to want to take it.Of course in the end I may not even be able to take swordsage from ToB and would just go with extra rogue/swash to keep the SA up. It just seems a 2 fighter dip early in this build could help it out at the expense of getting a few other things later. I like far shot and the gloves are nice, but at some point I'd want to get +dex gloves. Guess I could get far shot later and use the gloves as long as possible.</blockquote>
