Hey people
I dug this game up again and got an idea as I was wandering about Luskan with my soon-to-be fighter/WM/DD. What about a WM/Assasin? THe idea was to further improve the WM abilities with a bit of death attack, poison, stealth and uncanny dodges. Not to mention improved invisibility, ghostly visage etc.
So i loaded up good old chapter 1 HotU to see if it could be done. I first tried to start off with a halfling rouge to see if that could be done. However, I soon experienced that since the WM prereqs are so feat heavy and i also would need weapon finesse, imp crit, and the dual wield feats (because i want to :P) I basically ended up with a useless rogue/assasin/almost WM that couldn't kill a thing.. (8 str, 21 dex and no weapon finesse.. :P )
Second try: Human fighter, (too bad about the hafling. He would have been perfect) This time the feats were a breeze, i got WM at lvl 6 (including weapon specialization and finesse) I was quite curious regarding the reqs for assasin, but it worked out perfecly, rank 8 in hide and move silently was reached as i finished with WM at lvl 7. This left 2 levels for assasin and all the feats i wanted except imp dual wield. I had saved all my skill points, so i was able to max stealth and tumble as well.
So I guess my point is, what do you guys think? A fighter 6/WM7/assasin X Stealthing at the start of battles, then relying on a flurry of crits for the rest of the battle, Ki damage for crit immunes. I choose rapiers as my weapon which nets me 13-20 threat range (50% or so unless i'm mistaken?) Because of the fighter levels he is also quite versatile, being able to use a shield and 1 rapier should the situation require more AC or other shield given bonuses
Is it viable? A good idea? Thoughts?
