Epic Shadowdancer

[DoctorMlem]

Hey guys,

I'm new to the server and I would like to start my journey with a dex-oriented shadowdancer build. Although I've got familiar with the mechanical changes on the server and read some threads in the builds section I'm still not sure how it should look like. Could someone share with me a typical build and level progression for fighter/rogue/SD with Epic Dodge and Epic Shadowlord? I'd be really greatful.

Hi,

I looked through the build-dump on the Discord and found this build for you. I've never build a Shadowdancer, so I can't bring much other to the table.

Thanks, it gave me the idea how to make this build. After slight modifications I came up with this:


Rogue(5), Fighter(8), Shadowdancer(17),Elf

STR: 10
DEX: 19 (+2 gift), finally 28
CON: 12
WIS: 8
INT: 14
CHA: 8


01: Rogue(1): {Ambidexterity}
02: Rogue(2): {Evasion}
03: Rogue(3): Weapon Proficiency Exotic, {Uncanny Dodge I}
04: Fighter(1): DEX +1 (22), Two-Weapon Fighting
05: Fighter(2): Dodge
06: Fighter(3): Mobility
07: Rogue(4)
08: Shadowdancer(1): DEX +1 (23)
09: Shadowdancer(2): Toughness
10: Shadowdancer(3)
11: Shadowdancer(4)
12: Shadowdancer(5): DEX +1 (24), Improved Two-Weapon Fighting
13: Shadowdancer(6)
14: Shadowdancer(7)
15: Shadowdancer(8): Improved Critical: Kukri
16: Fighter(4): DEX +1 (25), Weapon Focus: Kukri
17: Fighter(5)
18: Fighter(6): Weapon Specialization: Kukri, Blind Fight
19: Fighter(7)
20: Shadowdancer(9): DEX +1 (26)
21: Shadowdancer(10): Epic Prowess
22: Shadowdancer(11)
23: Shadowdancer(12)
24: Shadowdancer(13): DEX+1 (27), Epic Weapon Focus: Kukri, Epic Shadowlord
25: Shadowdancer(14)
26: Shadowdancer(15)
27: Shadowdancer(16): Epic Dodge, Blinding Speed
28: Shadowdancer(17) DEX +1 (28)
29: Fighter(8): Epic Weapon Specialization: Kukri
30: Rogue(5): Armor Skin

Should I make some adjustments to it?

You really want to fit ESF: Discipline in there somewhere. SDs are already offensively weak in PvP, and not having as much discipline as you can does awful things to your defense. I would probably drop Armor Skin. You also want to take EWF: Kukri first, Epic Prowess later.

Can someone explain the progress of proximity sneak attacks granted via the summon’s HD?

[Baron Saturday]

You get 1d6 (additional) sneak attack damage per 3 levels of the Shadow. The Shadow's level is equal to the SD's level +5, or +10 once you take Epic Shadowlord. Thus with 17 levels of SD and Epic Shadowlord, you have a level 27 Shadow and gain 9d6 sneak attack.

Thanks!
