08-03-07, 12:20 AM 3 fighter 3 rouge 2 barbarian
16 str
16 dex
14 con
13 int
8 wis
9 cha

2-weap fight
combat expertise
imp buckler defense
oversized 2 weap fighin
imp trip
and skill focus UMD (i use wands alot)

my issue is that i have access to the dread commando class.
to actually get it i would have to invest my next level fighter feat and reg feat for Dodge and Mobility (not a horrible idea)
then after that im all clear for DC but looks like i got some multi class penilties comming.

or should i skip DC drop my feats into WF and WS or PA and continue to level the classes i got?

yeah,.... your thoughts?

08-03-07, 07:59 AM I disagree. For that build, it is no good. Dread Commando in itself is awesome. We've got one that hides, moves silently, and is invisable almost all the time. Spring attack or full attack when invisable, come on out, move away, and reactivate ring and hide again. Fun times.

With your build, especially as a TWF PC, your primary concern should be taking your 4th fighter level at 9 and getting Weapon Spec and Melee Weapon Mastery. What race are you? You might be looking at some brief multiclass penalties if you're not human or half-elf, but you should just raise your Barbarian level up a bit and then you're all set. Trap sense is worth getting anyway now that you can retrain into the Trap Killer alt class feature in Dungeonscape - especially since Dread Commando gives you Survival as a class skill.
