12-14-06, 03:13 PM Okay...I was just told by my DM that this Sunday, since some of our players have prior engagements, that we will be playing a 2 PC one shot. It seems we will be running around in Sharn, and I was told quickness and survivability were high priorities. So I picked Swordsage, all 10 levels. Sure not great BAB and only the 2 good saves...but I think this guy will be fun. So far I have only chosen my Stances and 1 or 2 feats...I still need help picking Manuevers and other Feats.

For Manuevers (pardon if I paraphrase, I am at work without books) I have the one that gives bonus to Jump, I have that gives Spider Climb, I have on that allows you to move 5 ft above the ground, and one more that I am forgetting.

Feats I took "Leap of the Heavens" I think its called from PHBII, I think I am going to turn this guy into a movement/tumbling/hiding kinda guy. I will also probably take the Feat that allows you to make extra AoO due to a high Dex, and mine is 20 so its worth it.

Right now I am using mostly ToB, PHB, DMG, PHBII...but I can use all Completes, BoVD (yes, we are supposed to have a slightly evil bent for this one) and most other 3.5 books you can think of...

I have never done an evil character before, so I need a little help fleshing him out that way too. Thanks in advance.

Basic stats

Str 12, Dex 20, Con 16, Int 14, Wis 16, Cha 11 (the higher stats are from items and ability boosts)

Mithral Breastplate (with both Shadow and Silent abilities)
With all goodies and abilities turned on AC is 28 Touch: 21 FF: 19 (I think I did that right) Just remembered the last Swordsage Stance: Whenever an enemy misses me my AC goes up by 2 (till next round) giving him the impression that I am way to hard for him to hit so he just gets ******. So my AC can jump alot in one round.

Pretty much everything else is up in the air...all help is appreciated.

12-14-06, 04:22 PM I know you said Swordsage 10, but check the Beshadowed Blade v2 in my sig. It's quite potent at that level:
Stormguard
4 attacks/round at no TWF penality
High saves
Tons of maneuvers

12-15-06, 06:18 PM That is a very interesting build....but I think I will stick with just Swordsage this time (mostly cause my fellow players always laugh that I jump around in Classes in some games...so I am going to show them I can stick with a single class).

As far as Manuevers go, I think I will stick mostly with these three...Desert Wind, Diamond Mind, and Tiger

I think these three work the best in my idea for a mobile style character. I will be finishing him up tonight after work before the game on Sunday. Any last minute advice would be appreciated.
