Let's assume 10 Str.Important equipment: Ten +1 Returning Daggers (for throwing)Two daggers for meleeGloves of dex +6Headband of int +6So you're basically a thrower. Within 20' (penalty-free dagger reach with Far Shot), wielding your +1 returning daggers, your To Hit is as follows:18/BAB + 10/Dex + 1/Focus + 1/Size + 1/Racial + 1/Enh + 1/PBS = +33Full attack using your Palm Throw trick means also:+33/+33/+28/+28/+23/+23/+18/+18Trick question: why 10 Returning daggers? Well, because the party's wizard might Haste you, of course.Damage:1d4 + 7/Int + 1/PBS + 1/Enh = 1d4+9. Not brilliant, but hey, not bad. And you may still Sneak Attack or use Telling Blow (stacks with Sneak Attack, BTW... gotta love the 17-20 crit range). Imagine that you ambush your foes (should fly with +14 initiative...), you would deal a maximum of 8d4+48d6+72 damage in the first round, average 260 damage.In melee, you're not ridiculous either, using TWF and Feinting.Finally, Armor Class:10/base + 10/Dex + 5/Int + 1/Dodge = 26 without equipment. Note that this is also your touch AC and that you have Uncanny Dodge. Of course, you could grab Bracers of Armor, various Rings, an Animated Shield, as well as a Monk's Belt and a Periapt of Wisdom (would do good to your Will save anyway), for easy 35+ AC. No comparison to a good tank, but enough to survive.Strongheart Halfling, level 17, other buildQuite easy: Fighter 4/Duskblade 13, go Melee Weapon Mastery, TWF, Weapon Finesse, take Practised Spellcaster somewhere, make TWF attacks using Arcane Channeling. Works with any light weapon, including daggers, but while you're at it, take kukris for the crit range.</blockquote>
