Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 3245049" data-attributes="member: 13966">Dang.  I would've suggested a Rogue 3/Ranger 6/Shadowdancer 3, or Rogue 3/Ranger 2/Shadowdancer 7, or Rogue 7/Ranger 2/Shadowdancer 3.You'd become a pretty nasty two-weapon fighter this way, and a pretty sneaky one at that, with a Shadow or two following you around silently, passing through walls and floors, moving into flanking position as you prepare to unleash two-weapon fury on enemies.  You'd also be pretty awesome with skills, though a bit behind a pure Rogue or Bard.Probably take Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Kukri) and Improved Critical (Kukri), to deliver frequent critical hits as well as sneak attacks.  You'd have a Base Attack of +10/+5 or +9/+4 this way, so only a little behind a pure Fighter in attack frequency/accuracy.  Going with Human for race, you'd probably take Dodge and Mobility at 1st-level, Combat Reflexes at 3rd (to qualify for Shadowdancer as soon as possible), Exotic Weapon Proficiency at 6th, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting at 9th (or Weapon Focus with the Kukri, if you go with the Ranger 6 setup, which would provide Imp.TWF for free), Improved Critical at 12th.With Str 18 and a pair of +2 kukri, you'll get something like an attack sequence of +16/+11/+16/+11 or +15/+10/+15/+10, before considering the +2 flanking bonus you'll likely have with your Shadow companion(s) and/or animal companion, dealing 1d4+2+4+2d6(or 4d6 with the Rog7/Rgr2/Shd3 setup) damage with the two primary-hand attacks each round and 1d4+2+2+2d6 damage with the two off-hand attacks each round.Your Favored Enemy ability would of course include Humans as the first favored enemy, though I don't know what good 2nd favored enemy you could choose if you went with the Ranger 6 build (not sure what kinda urban campaign it will be).  Two +1 humanbane kukris would be even better if you could afford them (without sacrificing too much in the handy-magic-items department).  In place of kukris, though, you might go with a two-bladed sword, or perhaps an orc double axe, yielding more raw damage with most hits, but you'd rarely get crits this way (not sure whether that would matter so much though with these builds)......of course, a Rogue 3/Monk 9 ninja-like half-orc build would be pretty cool too, with Str 20, Dex 16, Con 16, Int 14, Wis 18, and Cha 12.  Buy up some good Bracers of Armor, a good Ring of Protection, and Amulet of Natural Armor, maybe a Monk's Belt or maybe not, and you'd be pretty formidable.  And one scary-arse ninja!</blockquote>
