13 assassin rogue / 6 ninja spy monk / 1 fighter

[Duke2100]

my next life on my TR is going to be 13 assassin / 6 ninja spy / 1 fighter for sneak attack damage, assassin ability, and trap capability. Race preferred halfling for "halfling guile" and stance prefered fire for the extra strength. i have +2 str tome and the rest are all +3. does anyone have any tips or helpful advice about the multi-class so i can ensure that it will be a viable build. im also going epic destiny of ShadowDancer, i plan to get completionist so this build does not have to be perfected for high level. any advice is appreciated : D

Assassinate will rarely work with just 13 rogue levels in epics. This build works a lot better in Grandmaster with Acrobat II / Ninja Spy 1. You don't need to use quarterstaffs either, it works well with handwraps and shortswords too. The main advantage is getting 25% incorporeal and 1 minute invis clickies, as well as monk stances, saves, and extra feats.

Do you plan to TR again as soon as you hit 20? That affects your base stats and whether you plan to go, e.g., Imp Sneak Atk as one of your epic feats (req's base DEX 21).

I am actually running a character based on this split this life (currently L10), with a heavy focus on sneak attack damage and doublestrike (Doublestrike Assassin is what I'm calling it).

I'll post it here in the hope that you find it useful (not halfling, and with full +4 tomes but I'm sure you can adapt it if required). Fists of Light AND Power Attack to be changed out for dark path and Precision when appropriate.

Yes i plan to TR around 20, once i hit 20 i start farming for the tokens, and get alteast 3 lvls in ED to advance to the next one so i would more than likely TR around lvl 22

[Rogosh]

what fighter adds to this mix. I'm kind of thinking of something along these lines with the new qstaff stuff but I was thinking just rogue/monk. I hadn't considered mixing in fighter.

Besides adding 1 feat dont really see it adding much. Druid 1 on the other hand would add Ram's might and Shillelagh if you are going to use Qstaffs.
