Against a Medium Creature, after taking a 5-foot step, and Fighting Defensively.. 10 + Dex + 1(size) + 2(Size Advantage(Blade Bravo)) + 4(Dodge + Titan Fighting) + 1 Mobile Fighting + 3(Agile Fighting(Thief-Acrobat) + 3(Fighting Defensive w/5+ TUmble Ranks) So... 24+dex Touch AC. Not to mention all the Dancing-around-the-bigger-critters fun this guy can have. Stat Priority would be, Dex >= Int >= Str >= Con >= Wis >= Cha Basically, I wanted an Annoying Gnomish Swashbuckler who could take advantage of Lethal Reposte as much as possible. I wanted Thief-Acrobat for, well, the acrobatics, and the Kip-up with Dive for Cover seems to go oh-so-well to me, and Agile Fighting helped a bit too. Anyway.. Comments? Suggestions for getting a Higher Dodge AC? and I do mean Dodge. I wanna be able to dance the spellcasters too, and poke them in the rear.

If you're going to prioritize your intelligence as your next highest stat, wouldn't it be wise to get the next two levels of Swashbuckler? Int to damage would be nice, and you're short on damage as is. You should get the 3rd rogue level as well - you don't want to miss out on +1 BAB, +1d6 SA and 8sp. - Dain

Helmed Horror 03-28-05, 09:12 AM	races of stone. If I may suggest, if you wish to play a gnome... whisper gnome is a very nice suggestion. invisible blade is an intresting option, but no rapier, kukri's could work. Intresting option could be Ninja 3/Swashbuckler 3/Invisible blade 5/Theif Acrobat 5/ XXX 4??? the way your build is now is adequate...it can be tweaked more.
Garjon 03-28-05, 04:07 PM	I wanna use Lethal Reposte from Blade Bravo, I know how to do an Inivisible blade build.

I don't really see the point of taking Swashbuckler at all for this character, if you're not taking the 3rd level. The 3rd level of rogue would be nice as well, but I'm not sure what you're going to be dropping to take it. Also, how are you getting two feats at level 4?
Garjon 03-28-05, 06:11 PM	First Level of Swashbuckler gets me Weapon Finesse, needed for Blade Bravo... as for the 2 feats @ 4th... Hmmm... (Gets the Editor going...)
