Hodo 07-03-06, 12:16 AM	I plan on making a character that relies heavily on the bluff skill in combat. I want him to be able to use bluff to deny his opponents their dexterity modifiers, and also use it to creat a distraction so he can hide. The first is pretty easy, but for the second to work, I'm going to need the Hide in Plain Sight ability. So what classes or builds give access to this ability the fastest?

Shadow Dancer PrC from the DMG- Hide In Plain Sight at 1st level dip, plus lots of rogue specials later on. If you are playing an epic game, get yourself a Ring of Sequestering, if you can afford it. Down right sick for a sneak attacker for 300k.
