Thought about this as well. The only thing I would probably do is take out the dex feats for weapon focus (kukri) / imp crit... thoughtS?

If you are looking to get insightful strike from swashbuckler, on BG it comes at the 5th level, not the 3rd.

No I was looking for weapon finese from SB but in BGTSCC I need 3 levels within that class that's why they're taken later

I don't think PA works with finessed weapons. Dexers usually dont get much benefit from PA anyway.

Why 10 GFK if you're not maximizing for frightful attack?

Shorties like halfling can power attack with some finesse weapons such as rapier and short swords.

Need PA for GFK, Going GFK for fun? Maybe RP? Maybe I want to play around with stuff?

So no real critique? Build looks good? All i've had were questions on why this or that and they are simple explanations.

I did however take out 2 levels of rogue for 2 more levels in SB for IS

Ghost step and hips just work so much better together and with 10 levels of GFK i can cast it more frequently.

Does GFK require dodge and mobility? Even if they do you can take them later. If not required maybe combat experience and move gtwf to pre epic then get combat insight in epic so you double int damage. I would also end dex on even number so you can use cats grace and still hit 30. Get more int for bonus damage and maybe replace assassin 9 with rogue 7 or another SB level to gain 1 BAB which will get you a 6th attack.

I am open for suggestion for 10 of the GFK levels to be swapped out. I was also thinking about Whirling Dervish, Shadow Dancer, Night-song Enforcer, Child of Night...

Yeah... Nothing. Even searched for Whirling Dervish. Am I missing something?

All that I see that has to do with my classes are:

Assassin

Gained a spellbook
Intelligence grants bonus spells (just like a wizard gets).
Sneak attack Dice now qualifies for the Arcane Trickster PrC
Can cross class the perform skill.
Poison spell has been upgraded. The higher your INT bonus and assassin level, the stronger your poison will be.
** CAN BE ANY ALIGNMENT

Rogue

Perform changed to a normal class skill.

Swashbuckler

Insightful Strike moved to level 5

Since you have to take dodge and mobility you may want to switch assassin for shadow dancer 3.that way you can get 10 rogue levels for epic precision. Loses assassin spells and chance at death attack hold person, but gains 1/2 SA dice against crit immune

thanks for clarifying that for me. That's fine though. No Imp Evasion but extra 3d6 on sneak, +2 to crit rolls... etc etc. I can live without imp evasion.
