So my DM has allowed me to bring back a retired character from a previous campaign, once we reach the appropriate level (12ish). Last I left this self proclaimed adventurer … he died… and the party didn’t have enough cash to raise him on account of that he (The Rogue) HAD most of the money hidden, so the best resurrection they could scourge up was Reincarnation.

Now Dean "the Dark" (Self proclaimed) is Dean the kobold (Factual), and that’s where he left off.

Any suggestions on where to go from here? Can I qualify for any 1st level “Dragon Blood” feats on account that I just changed species?

Human stats were Str 14, Dex 21, Con 12, Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 12. Though I suppose that is 10, 23, 10, 16, 10, 12 respectively now.

Rogue 10 / Shadow Dancer 2
Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Mobility, Two-Weapon Fighting, Quick Draw, Flick of the Wrist, and Improved Evasion which was obtained by allowing SD Evasion & Rogue Evasion to stack (House Rule, Yes).

Notable possessions are 4 shot-swords which I suppose have been resized by now (Blur Strike + 1, generic +2 , cold Iron + 1 , and Silver) all “X” sheathed on his back, and Sandal of Harmonious balance with a 22 check on balance to go with it.

Edit: Can't resize magical weapons... So I guess it's 4 Small sized longswords now.

Note: Dwarfs (Dwarves?) and Undead are my bane... Let us not speak of Undead Dwarves...

Any ideas? Optimized or Interesting? I'm open.

SD evasion stacks with Rogue evasion? (I never knew that: unless this was a houserule, I've never looked at Shadow Dancer much)

How did you resize the Swords (only the +1 enhancement sizing allows that)?

The augment crystals about undead allow you to deal +1d6 damage to undead (lesser veasion) ansd if you have a +3 weapon but you don't only +2 generic swords (the Greater version allows you to sneak attack them).

All Evasion class abilities stack with any other Evasion class ability to give you Improved Evasion.

Hmmn good point, the wizard does has some level 0 spell which allows you to resize weapons by one category... but only non-magical weapons. So unless I buy new swords I suppose I now have four small sized longswords.

Really? Mind if you tell me where you read that? I know uncanny dodge and improved uncanny dodge reads like that and I have looked for anything that gives stacking for evasion but I have not found any.

Maybe I'm confusing the two, but I'm pretty sure that the Evasion class features all read like that.

That can't be right....Monk 2 + rogue 2 = improved evasion at ECL 4? I'm so making an ascetic monk/rogue for my next character.

It's a house rule. The normal rules don't state that.

You've confused Evasion with Uncanny Dodge. ;)
