Second prestige class for an Invisible Blade help

For the record, Invisible Blade is in Complete Warrior. It's a 5-level class.

I'm looking for a prestige class to take after completing it. Something based on two-weapon-fighting (with kukri, that is) would be cool. I can only use WotC stuff that's 3.5, or updated to 3.5. Dragon or Dungeon classes are generally okay.

I'm generally interested in what fits well as I like the class, but the specific basic build I have in mind right now is a human Rog3/Ftr2/Invisible Blade5 focused on two-weapon-fighting.
Feats look kinda like this: Far Shot, Point Blank Shot, WFoc (kukri), TWF, Improved TWF, WFin (kukri), Imp Crit (kukri). So... Pretty basic stuff.
I can theoretically change any of these except for the first three, which are Invisible Blade prerequisites. If there's a good class, I'm fine with delaying the TWF feats if that's necessary or useful.

Thanks in advance. :)

I think the Master Thrower would make an interesting match. OTOH, you're using kukri, which aren't normally throwable (IIRC), so it might not be as good a match as if you were using daggers.

:D For those of you who don't get the joke,
the Invisible Blade and the Master Thrower were originally one 10-level prestige class that got split into two 5-level ones.
 


IIRC, the first level of Master Thrower gets you the Quick Draw ability. That alone might be worth one level of that PrC. Other than that, you are probably better off getting rogue or fighter levels. You already have weapon focus, two levels of fighter gets you decent HP and weapon specialization. Going back to rogue is also a great choice. One level of rogue gets you uncanny dodge and a bunch of skills that fit well with invisible blade. Two levels of rogue get you more sneak attack damage, which is what an invisible blade is all about.

I wouldn't rule out the core classes as well.
 

If you wanted to free up some of those feats, the author of Invisible Blade (Sonofapreacherman) mentioned that he'd probably change the prereqs of Invisible Blade to Weapon Focus and Finesse, since the CW Invisible Blade doesn't focus on ranged attacks (the original version was ten levels and gave you abilities for throwing daggers). Should help, since you can't throw kukris :)
 

If you have a high Int I would suggest taking 3 levels of Swashbuckler.

Adding your Int bonus to damage is nice.
 

Thanks for the input.

Shadeus, true, Quick Draw would indeed be very nice. Hm. Taking it as a feat would be more efficient than spending 1-2 feats to qualify for the class to get it as a bonus, though. I think I'll do that. ;)

CronkoDekar - Wow, that's just what I needed. Thanks for the information, mate! :)

Yig, I like that idea... What's more, Swashbuckler gives me Weapon Finesse at 1st class level, which I need anyway. :cool:

How about this:

human Rog3/Swashbuckler3/Ftr4/Invisible Blade5
Feats: Combat Expertise, Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Critical, Improved Initiative, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Quick Draw, Two-Weapon Defense, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization

Hm. Looking good. Not sure what to take after that, though, unless I keep adding Rog/Ftr levels. Or Assassin. Anyway, a build until level 15 is plenty for now.
