Mawry 3.0: Halfling Armor Class Assassin

[geoffhanna]

For her third life, Mawry wants to try out the high AC life and see how it fits her.

Mawry the Original Halfling Commando
Level 20 Lawful Good Halfling Female
(1 Fighter \ 1 Monk \ 18 Rogue) 

This is a 36-point build that attempts to combined compentet TWF, very high DPS, and as much armor class as can be shoehorned in. A bonus: decent UMD and mechanical aptitude.

Her assassinations will be so mundane that they are probably not useful at end game; on the other hand, she will have outstanding sneak attack damage and all of her hits with any weapon will reduce STR, may vorpal, and may (assuming awahnus set) enervate.

She will consume a full set of +2 tomes at 7th level unless Turbine announces an increase in the TR cap. She will eat the INT tome regardless, and probably the DEX and WIS too.

I think that is a bona fide armor class?

Wish there were more HP but this seems adequate?

Damage will be through the roof on sneak attacks and include a stacking +7 seeker bonus even without a Bloodstone as well as inflicting special effects Weakening, Vorpal, and (occasional) Enervate.

Gear assumes gyroscopic boots, 7-fingered gloves, head of good fortune, and +15 rogue skill items but does not include bard song or GH.

  Level 18 (Rogue)   (Selected)      Greater Two Weapon Fighting

Fighter is included not only for the feat but also for the enhancements.

She will probably not take Assassin until she has 18 rogue levels. If she takes a PrE to use in the meantime it will probably be Acrobat?

Thanks Ron!

Cannot take weapon finesse at level 1 rogue as it requires BAB 1
