PM/Kensai w/Evasion (shadowknight ish)

[rukkerz]

I had an idea for a shadowknight awhile back and had no idea how to execute it.

Was thinking of going two different ways with this... Taking Bastard Sword, thf, wielding a shield and taking stalwart defender... Thought it would be cool to wade into battle in undead form, hit Death aura, Hit stalwart defender and go to town with a Skeleton pet fighting along side me.

Decided to go the other route during the build process and drop Bastard sword, forget a shield and a SD and going kensai I, wielding a Falchion siphoning of the life of my enimies as i chop them to pieces... I have no idea if this will work..

Went Drow kinda for flavor, it also seemed fitting for a shadowknight build.

Decided at last minute before building that the rogue class UMD and Evasion would help out greatly during the process...

Im not good with the gear, so I cant tell you what I would begin to equip him with, maybe some mithril chain (mostly for flavor because his ac would be horrible)

Let me know what you think... Thanks

pale master ticks will probably not keep you alive while meleeing enemys endgame, might be a fun build tho..

[Phidius]

Update 9 is going to move the Lich form to level 18, and replace it with Vampire form. That's good, because the combat affect of Vampire works with weapons, while the Lich form does not.

As for your gear, you want either the shroud from the Abbot, or the robe from the Mabar even (if it comes back).

Wraith form will also be moved to level 18. You might want to switch mental toughness for Maximize, and use your level 6 regular feat for something else.

[rukkerz]

Can you post a link to the update to the pale master for update 9? Lol that would help me a little bit in this build... Also do you think putting in 6 levels of Paladin instead of Fighter would be a better Choice? The drow can have enough Cha for Divine might 2 without dropping any str/int.

So let me get this right, PM is getting zombie form at 6 and vampire form at 12... That might actually be quite beneficial for the leveling of this build.

My other thoughts were taking the new shield feats and going with SD or DoS.

Let me know what you all think. Thank you.
