Small Rogue / Swordsage TWF Build Advice

[griff_goodbeard]

Two-Weapon Fighting + Weapon Finesse + Shadow Blade = 3 of 4 total feats already. There just isn't room for all those additional feats. And since the build is currently built around some hefty sneak attack damage, Craven seems like a better choice at this point for that fourth slot.

If you are trying to play up the ability to hide for anything, go with Darkstalker from Lords of Madness. Forces creatures with temorsense, blindsense, and scent to make a spot/listen to detect you.

OK,
If you want to be silly (and I think you might already be pushing silly in terms of damage...)

Consider follower of a worg swordsage. At level 10 he should be at least a level 2 swordsage (4HD, 1 ECL, 2 levels). Put on chain barding and the AC is silly. It can take the stance that gives flanking from any angle... You will be autoflanking pretty much everything.

Same thing with an awakened dog....

Goblin oddly works well with this, and I think is more fun than the other proposals (but less powerful).

Oh,
Also a lot of people seem to think Craven is too powerful of a feat. I don't know how well you know everyone, but I'd ask the DM about that first...

That's a very solid set of feats. I'll second the recommendation for Adaptive Style if you're playing a swordsage.
