QFlash,
You are probably not getting much feedback since the Kolat Assassin & Imp. Backstab feat are D20 material. I have the Rokugan Ninja book (although it's at home), and from what I recall, the Kolat Assassin is a strong PrC. Wish I could help you more, but my memory is fuzzy on the KA PrC.

With a STR of 22 and being a Chain wielder ... you ought to really think about becoming a Tripmeister expert. You've got the high STR to win trip checks. And the free attacks you get from tripping will work nice in conjuction with your sneaks, and spring attacking.

Good luck!

So what classes and feats do you think I should grab to become a tripper...
I was also thinking of Grabbing Tefflammar shadowlord?

Well, can you clarify a little more what your *exact* play level is at? It looks like 11th, but I am a little confused in reference to your revised Shade ECL and the mention of your additional XP (or something).

Also ... are you really sold on the Shade template (assuming the revised +3 ECL)? I *love* the Shade character concept, but that ECL hit is pretty darn ugly.

Wait +3?
I thought it was a +4 or +5....?

Snow- I started playing the character thinking it was a +2 then a book stated it was +4 or 5?
So I played it at +4 and my Dm allowed me to give up Fast healing to bring it down to +3.

Currently I'm a 13th level character.(includes ecl) (11 class levs.)
at a +2 (due to unearthed arcana's way to bring down ecl)

But i only have used 8 character levels and have 3 levels that i have not classed yet. So yes 11th level character (3 of those i have not taken classes for yet)- Thats where i need your help?

About this ECL for Shades? DOes anyone know what it is? Currently?

Teflemmar Shadowlord is an incredible PrC if you can get into it. Looks like all you need is Blind Fighting.

yeah but do you think taking this is worthwhile, when i'm already a shade?
