Personally, I like the gruesome idea of this class, and it would probably go good, flavor-wise, with the Avenging Executioner haha...
Assumed: DM has waved XP penalty for multiclassing. He has also allowed me to use the alternate IB class, and a few other things from the same site.

This build is based upon careful fighting and a high AC via defensive fighting, allowing the bleeding attacks to drain the opponent to zero. This is definently easy, since if just one attack hits, it'll bleed for 5 damage. Example: Feint and then do a Full Attack, next rounds fight defensively as needed, still feinting before each attack.
Tips on a better build to achieve my goal would be appreciated.
Something that I would like clarification on is the Implacable weapon ability. The wording of the spell says that each time the weapon deals damage, it bleeds for 2 damage. Does this mean that with weapons such as the Harpoon, that when the weapon is pulled out it creates a new wound? Or does it only work with a rolled attack?
Thanks for looking at this, and for your guys' help in advance.
Edit: Removed Deadly Defense, dropped down Improved Feint, and added Surprising Riposte. Also, switched Two-weapon defense and Improved TWF to get that extra attack sooner. Much better.
If you succeed in feinting in combat your target is denied its dexterity bonus to AC for the next melee attack you make against it.
Careful read that line again, it only works with the FIRST (one) attack and not your full attack.
It becomes even harder against nonhumanoid or animals with low intelligence to impossible against non-intelligent creatures.
Unless I am missing something, obviously. Can't remember exactly what those weapon properties does
Hehe, thanks for pointing that out, I'll just have to figure out a way to deny more dex bonuses...
If I recall correctly there is a feat in Drow of the Underdark, Surprising Riposte, that will make they improved feint work with a full attack.
Thank you! I hadn't seen this feat before, but this is definently a great addition to my build. I appreciate the help.
OK, so something was bothering about this build and I couldn't put my finger on it. But now I got it. Invisible Blade is only 5 levels long and you have 10 levels.
OP is using the "correct" version - see http://www.wakinglands.com/htm_files/the_main_page.htm
Does anyone have an opinion on the Implacable weapon ability in combination with a Harpoon being removed?
Thanks in advance...
Shameless bump.
