[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 2982860, member: 840"] Another character build, courtesy of obtusehobbit Race: Halfling Stats Str: 10 Dex: 18 Con: 14 Int: 10 Wis: 15 Chr: 10 1) Swordsage 1: Extra Readied Maneuver, Sudden Recovery, Vital Recovery, 2 FLAWS 2) Swordsage 2: 3) Swordsage 3: Weapon Finesse 4) Monk of the Passive Way 1: Combat Expertise, +1 Wis 5) Monk of the Passive Way 2: Improved Trip, Improved Unarmed Strike 6) Shadow Sun Ninja 1: Shadow Blade 7) Shadow Sun Ninja 2: 8) Shadow Sun Ninja 3: +1 Dex 9) Shadow Sun Ninja 4: Superior Unarmed Strike 10) Shadow Sun Ninja 5: 11) Shadow Sun Ninja 6: 12) Shadow Sun Ninja 7: Snap Kick, +1 Dex 13) Shadow Sun Ninja 8: 14) Shadow Sun Ninja 9: 15) Shadow Sun Ninja 10: Monastic Training (Swordsage) 16) Monk of the Passive Way 3: +1 Dex 17) Swordsage 4: 18) Monk of the Passive Way 4: Martial Stance (Balance on the Sky) 19) Swordsage 5: 20) Monk of the Passive Way 5: +1 Dex Boost: 1st: Wind Stride (Desert Wind) change to (Strike) Saphire Mind Blade (Diamond Mind) 2nd: Cloak of Deception (Shadow Hand) Strikes: 1st: Mighty throw (Setting Sun), Shadow Blade Technique (Shadow Hand), Wolf Fang Strike (Tiger Claw), 4th: Strike of the Broken Shield (Setting Sun) 7th: Hydra Slaying Strike (Setting Sun) 8th: Diamond Nightmare Blade (Diamond Mind) Counters: 1st: Counter Charge (Setting Sun), Moment of Perfect Mind (Diamond Mind) 2nd: Baffling Defense (Setting Sun) 5th: Mirrored Pursuit (Setting Sun) 8th: Diamond Defense (Diamond Mind) Stances: 1st: Child of Shadows (Shadow Hand), Step of the Wind (Setting Sun) 5th: Step of the Dancing Moth (Shadow Hand), Shifting Defense (Setting Sun) 8th: Balance on the Sky (Shadow Hand) The main ability this build has that I realy like is as a standard action the build can do (2d6+Wis mod+Dex mod)x4 and an 2nd attack that does 2d6+Dex mod. Other highlights are: 1) Can use Air Walk at will 2) Can avoid and redirect a charge if I make a opposed Dex check 3) Has the ability to throw someone 10 feat with a 4+Dex Mod vrs Str or Dex 4) Can Prevent an opponent from making a full attack 5) Flurry of Blows, Dodge Bonus, and Fast Movement of 15th Level Monk, and Unarmed Damge of 19th Level Monk 6) Can get a +17 to any saving throw 7) Can follow an Opponent who moves out of my threaten squares 9) Can use an effect similar to Greater Invisability, Swift 10) Can use Concentration as a will Save 11) Can use Sense Motive check for AC against an attack 12) Has some other Intresting Abilities from Shadow Sun Ninja The biggest down side is that he can only do so many of these things per encounter. Also only has the a d8 hit die an middling BAB. Misc... Maneuvers have per encounter uses. Unless you are jumping from one fight to the next with no real rest, you should have access to all your maneuvers for each combat. [/QUOTE]
