reese 09-05-06, 03:15 PM	hmmm, thanks for the pointer to the swashbuckler, a 3 level dip compliments the whole thing nicely. as far as the dervish goes, after 7 levels of scout i can meet the BAB prereq, or i can do scout 4/ swashbuckler3. only thing is, there is a 20 level cap on the character, so how many levels of dervish would you recommend? my thoughts are that i'd really like to keep the four levels of theif acrobat i have, so in order to qualify for that i need 5 levels of scout to get evasion. so the build would then look like this: scout 5/ swashbuckler 3/ theif acrobat 4. that leaves me with 8 levels to play with. if i go into dervish, i need some fom of TWF, so i could grab two levels of ranger or fighter to meet that, leaving me with 6 levels so do i take six levels of dervish? or take 2 more levels of fighter to snag another feat and then add 4 levels of dervish? opinions?
