Need advice for a STR assassin build

[Grayvin]

I'm doing a lesser reincarnation on my rogue, which right now is a dex based rogue, and turning him into a STR based rogue.
I'm planning on using a +3 tome on all stats and was wondering what I can do to improve the build.
I also wanted to know how viable the build would be at level 20 for dispatching mobs( with assassinate and pure dps), taking care of traps, and using UMD effectively and what I can change if needed.
I appreciate any helpful input!

Dump charisma, put some more points in con.

OTWF isnt a great feat, esp with new to hit mechanisms lurking around the corner, just wield light off hand weapons till then for high AC mobs.

Why so many dex enhancemnents? they're very expensive and you don't need them, drop them all. Invest in human versatility instead, drop skill boost too then ofc.

Also taking human adap II for +1con wouldnt be bad

[spectroum]

Build seems fine but!

Since u used a +3 DEX tome drop ur base DEX at 14 so u can hit 17 for ITWF-GTWF

Also imho drop INT at 13...u'll lose 1 DC on assassinate but i think u can live with that easily

Also drop CHA at 8

Now with all these spare point get 17 base STR and 15 CON

oversized is fine if u'r gonna wield khopeshes but consider swapping PA for weapon focus or toughness if you have problem at the to-hit section

about enhancements...imo get at least human STR-CON,3 racial toughness,max SA,s&w mastery II/III,deadly shadow,haste-dmg boost II,skill mastery I (very usefull for UMD purposes),subtle III/IV

For me though i'd go 18/2 with 2 ftr levels for all the ftr goodies

On a more DPS agressive approach, I'd probably go this way.

For a more survival approach, swap Impr Sunder for SF:UMD, Rogue Extra Action Boost for Human Recovery I, and Haste Boost III + IV or Subtle Backstabbing III + IV for W&S Mastery III & IV.

Having only Subtle Backstabbing II might suffice if you have other sources of Threat Reduction (Tharne's Set, Tinker's Set, etc) or might be a problem if you don't have a proper hate tank. If you solo a lot you could drop it to tier I, though. =P

Thanks for the replies! If there's anything else that people want to suggest feel free to post, I'm open to having many ideas.
