This is just an idea I've been playing around with for a Shadar-kai life; let me know what you think, where it can be improved, etc. I'm not sure about the feat selection, just Whirlwind Attack, Grandmaster of Forms, Zen Archery and the rest toughness's, though I wasn't sure what would be better. (I. Crit Piercing was selected for lvl 21 if anyone's wondering) Skills are just max Concentration, Search, Disable Device, Open Lock and Jump to 10 to reach 40 with a jump spell. Main idea is to dual wield Shortswords with decent twf dps and 9d.6 sa damage.
