Itchy Trigger Finger

First let me apologise for the format.

Secondly this isnt an optimal build but a flavour build. Will be using light repeater (until crafts heavy repeater ) handaxes and eventually a rad II kukri. Essentially a mechanic repeater build. Dwarf (i know not optimal)

Only rough outline at the moment will need some work but would appreciate feedback first. Main issue is should it be 1 monk or 1 figher. have gone for monk but..

Anyway flame away

Str 10 +2 tome
Dex 16 +3 enhancement, +5 lvls, +2 tome, +6 item
Con 16 + 2 enhancements, +2 tome, +6 item
Int 16 +2 tome, +6 item
Wis 12 +2 tome, +6 item
Cha 6 Situational boost for umd

Does dwarf get you anything other than more HPs for this build? Not that extra HPs is ever a bad thing, of course, but it seems to me halfling or drow would be a better choice.

Exotic proficiencies require BAB 1, so you would not be able to take it at 1st lvl; same goes for Finesse. I think you could take Rapid Reload or Point Blank Shot instead. Although I don't understand why you would use a feat on light repeaters when heavy repeaters are better DPS and you'd get light repeaters for free at Mechanic I.

Also, you say "Swap exotic for improved critical just before levelling to 11," but that won't work: when you do a feat exchange, you have to trade it for another feat you could've taken at that level instead; Imp Crit requires BAB 8, so you can't trade a lower-level feat for it.

Thanks thats the type of catch i wanted. Have swapped repeater and PBS, so wont get repeater till 6th. Will swap out repeater for rapid reload and take imp crit at 12. TYVM. Will get heavy repeater at 18th lvl.

Yes i know this build is not optimal and drow or halfling may give me a little more. Its going to be tight on AP's as both deepwood and mechanic are expensive, so major bonus is going to be an additional boost to Dex. However i can envisage a dwarven character in this role, as stated earlier it is a flavour thing.

Thanks again for the imp crit catch, that has saved me a major headache later.
