You'll want to leverage your high attributes.  If you can only pick two attributes to have high, go with Int and Dex - leverage your Dex with Weapon Expertise/Weapon Finnesse and pick up a ton of skill points.  Make sure to grab Tumble as a skill as well and stay lightly armored.Since Sunder/Disarm is an opposed attack roll, you want the highest BAB you can "afford."  Avoid Sunder for now, as it requires another "high" stat - Str.What race/class combo does all this for you?Human Bard with a couple of strategically placed levels of fighter.Suggested Advancement:Bard1Bard2Bard3Bard4Bard4/Ftr1 (bonus Feat)Bard5/Ftr1 (you take it here to be a 5th-level spellcaster when you get your 6th-level Feat since you want Craft Magic Arms & Armor)Bard 5/Ftr2 (bonus Feat)Suggested Feat selection:1st level: Expertise (for defensive fighting and to qualify for Imp. Disarm)Human: Improved Disarm (for obvious reasons)3rd level: Craft Wondrous Item (for attribute-boosting items)5th level (Ftr 1 bonus Feat) Weapon Finnesse (leverage your Dex)6th level: Craft Magic Arms and Armor (for a magic rapier)7th level (Ftr 2 Bonus Feat) Weapon Focus (rapier)At 4th level, a bard has a BAB of +3 (one worse than a fighter).  He has access (assuming his Cha is high enough) to 2nd-level spells... like Bull's Strength and Cat's Grace and such.  If you plan ahead and pick up Craft Wondrous Item at 3rd level, that means you can make yourself a pair of Boots of Dexterity or Gauntlets of Ogre Power/Girdle of Giant Strength.  Even better, if you can afford it, create a Girdle of Dextrous Strength (combines a bonus to Dex and Str into one item).  Enchant a rapier to be a +1 keen sonic burst weapon at 6th level when you pick up Craft Arms & Armor.Hope that helps.To summarize:HumanBard1 - BAB +0 Saves +0/+2/+2 - Bardic Music, Bardic Knowledge, FEATS: Expertise, Imp. DisarmBard2 - BAB +1 Saves +0/+3/+3 - gets 1st-level spellsBard3 - BAB +2 Saves +1/+3/+3 - FEAT: Craft Wondrous ItemBard4 - BAB +3 Saves +1/+4/+4 - gets 2nd-level spells, should grab two attribute-boosting spells and craft an attribute-boosting item or twoBard4/Ftr1 - BAB +4 Saves +3/+4/+4 - BONUS FIGHTER FEAT: Weapon FinesseBard5/Ftr1 - BAB +4 Saves +3/+4/+4 - FEAT: Craft Magic Arms & Armor, should craft +1 keen sonic burst rapierBard 5/Ftr2 - BAB +5 Saves +4/+4/+4 - BONUS FIGHTER FEAT: Weapon Focus (rapier)Bard6/Ftr2 - BAB +6 Saves +5/+5/+5 - Up the rapier to +2 keen sonic burstBard6/Ftr3 - BAB +7 Saves +5/+6/+6 - FEAT: Your choice... if you want a more fightery-type go with Dodge or perhaps Sunder (if Str high enough) but if you want a more magicky-type, grab Craft WandBard6/Ftr4 - BAB +8 Saves +6/+6/+6 - BONUS FIGHTER FEAT: Weapon Specialization (rapier)Then take levels in Bard the rest of the way out.(Then again, I'm sure I'll get accused of "Bard Favoritism" LOL)--The Sigil</blockquote>
