First Post
Greetings guys, it's me again.
Guess I'm on a roll, that's my 3rd character this week, and my 6th character I post total.
I've used:
- Halfling
- Drakeling template (Blackdirge's Templates)
- Roguish template (Blackdirge's Templates)
- Nimbleknife (Blackdirge's Master at Arms)
- Invisible Blade (Complete Warrior)
Ok, here's the idea: the nimbleknife's Improved Nimble Strike allows me to treat an opponent flat-footed for 1 round, which enable me to sneak attack it as many times as I can. If that doesn't works, the invisible blade's uncanny feint can also deny the target's dexterity modifier.
My previous creations have the same weaknesses: low AC, low HP, low saves and low mobility. But this time, I believe I've counter most weaknesses with this character.
- fly speed -> check
- concealment -> check
- high saves -> check
- good AC -> check
- HP -> uncheck... but hey just try to hurt her.
Anyway, here she is.

Trap Sense (Ex) as rogue class ability
Uncanny Dodge (Ex) as rogue class ability
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex) as rogue class ability
Crippling Strike (Ex) Dalessella can sneak attack opponents with such precision that her blows weaken and hamper them. An opponent damaged by one of her sneak attacks also takes 2 points of Strength damage. Ability points lost to damage return on their own at the rate of 1 point per day for each damaged ability.
Improved Sneak Attack (Ex) Dalessella increases the damage die for sneak attacks from 1d6 to 1d8.
Improved Finesse (Ex) Dalessella can used the Weapon Finesse feat with any one-handed weapon, in addition to light weapons, applying her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to attack rolls.

Scoundrel’s Luck (Su) Dalessella receives a luck bonus to all saving throws equal to her Intelligence bonus (if positive).

Poison (Ex) Dalessella has a poisonous sting that causes drowsiness as the initial damage (-1 to attacks, ability checks, and skill checks), and causes the victims to lapse into a dreamless sleep for 1 minute as the secondary damage. The Fortitude save to resists Dalessella’s poison is DC 24. The save is Constitution-based.
Nimble Defense (Ex) When wearing light or no armor and fighting defensively, Dalessella suffers only a -2 penalty on attack rolls for the round and receives a +4 dodge bonus to AC. In addition, when using the total defense action, she receives a +8 dodge bonus to AC and can make a single attack of opportunity per round. The bonuses from nimble defense supersede and do not stack with the synergy bonuses granted to characters with 5 or more ranks in the Tumble skill.
Nimble Strike (Ex) Adept at utilizing speed and precision to inflict damage, Dalessella may add half her Dexterity bonus (plus Strength bonus if applicable) to melee damage rolls (round down) with the dagger or punch dagger when wearing light or no armor.
Enhanced Initiative (Ex) When wearing light or no armor, Dalessella adds 1.5 times her Dexterity bonus to initiative rolls. (Note: this ability is the same as Roguish Reflexes, and thus does not stack.)

Improved Nimble Strike (Ex) Dalessella wielding a dagger or punching dagger and wearing light or no armor can strike with such speed that even opponents aware of her presence may be taken by surprise. At the beginning of each combat round, Dalessella can designate one creature as the target of her improved nimble strike ability. The chosen creature must then make a Reflex DC 28 saving throw or lose its Dexterity bonus to AC against her attacks for the round. The save is Dexterity-based. Dalessella may use improved nimble strike as often as she likes, although not more than once per round.
Improved Nimble Defense (Ex) Dalessella has become so adept at avoiding blows when wearing light or no armor and fighting defensively, she is considered to have concealment (20% miss chance).

She cannot use the concealment provided by improved nimble defense to make a Hide check.

Unfettered Defense (Ex) Dalessella adds her Inteeligence modifier, up to equal her Invisible Blade levels, to her AC. Any conditions that would make her lose her Dexterity bonus also negate that bonus, as well as if Dalessella wears armor and fight with weapons other than daggers, kukris and punching daggers.
Bleeding Wound (Ex) When scoring a sneak attack, Dalessella can sacrifice 1d6 points of sneak attack damage to cause the target to lose 1 point of damage per round, as per the wounding weapon ability. Multiple wounds are cumulative and can only be stopped by a cure spell or a Heal DC 15 check. Creatures immune to sneak attacks are immune to this ability.
