Does this work? http://nwn2db.com/build/?245815

EDIT: Blind Fight stands in for one-hander. So its AC is actually 42.

Are you RCRing into this build? And, if so, what level?

I dont know if it was mentioned before but a Fighter12/Duelist10/SB5/WD3 will get you insane damage, a lot of AC and more importantly the theme you are after.

Some numbers

DEX17 +3item/INT27+3item

AC53+ with ICE 56+ with rapier of shielding
AB40 + EW with ICE
Damage 10Combat Insight + 10IS +8Fighter +4EB +2d6Duelist +1d6 Base damage +1d4 deadly defence = 43~ + flourish every 30secs

I was planning to RCR into 5th level so I could skip the crit-immune graveyard.

If you can't RCR into Level 22 or higher, then I'd say, go with M3nts' build instead.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I definitely can't RCR into anything above 5, because the only thing I have above that is my sorceror at 14, and I'm keeping him.
Are there any feats that are absolutely necessary?

SB5 for insightful strike. This will give you a much needed damage.

Don't get STR at all on a Dex based build if you are going to get insightful strike and Combat Insight.

About the One Hander feat:

1) Does anyone know whether the Tumble check effects mentioned in the wiki are random? Or can one choose one of them? If random, the feat (beyond the +1 dodge AC) seems a bit of a waste on builds that don't have Bluff or Parry.

2) How often is the Tumble check made? Only at the start of combat or in every round? Or at a different interval?

3) Can One Hander be active simultaneously with Flurry and/or Combat Focus (oh, and re. the latter: what is the cooldown? The wiki says both 5 and 3.5 min)?

Get youself a completely black suit, a black mask, and name your character either Zorro or whatever name that guy from princess bride had and tell every enemy you fight that they killed your father and prepare to die or leave Z marks everywhere you go. I can see it now, would be hilarious. :)

Just disguise yourself as name "black figure" and go around saying "as you wish."
