Thoughts on a build?
I'm thinking Rogue 11 / MoD 5 / Guild Thief 3 / Bard 11 (Inspire Competence +4).
It won't be able to hit a barn, but it could convince someone their mother was a barn.

I know right... there is no way to make a bad bard build. STr based, Int based, Dex based, Wisdom based, Cha based... they all work!

Okay...let's imagine a Character coming from a Land where they outlaw music, and sound, of any type.
What would be a good split taking Master of Disguise as the theme?

Yeah, that could work for a high INT character.
I could also imagine MoD 5 / GT 4 / Rogue 11 / Assassin 10. Poison + HiPS could make the lack of BAB manageable.

yeah, thought about the assassin route, but with this build epic dodge would be a big win and make RP sense (not much a fighter anyways, even for a rogue type)... though the assassin death attack save or die (basically) is also nice to have.

One could then swap out Assassin for Shadowdancer 10. It would be a fun concept to RP.
Speaking of fun RP concepts, one could imagine the fun of a Guild where the requirement was 5 levels of MoD. All the time trying to one up each other with disguises...lol.

I have been considering a warlocky flavor to a MoD build.
Perhaps even a bard/warlock/master of disguise.
It would likely end up being an RP build more than anything (cool in concept, weaker in play), but I like the idea anyway.
A charlatan who has made a pact with a fiendish source further his cons and trickery.

Epic PC 1: "I'm <Guild Masters name>"
Epic PC 2: "No, I'm <Guild Masters name>"
Newbie: "Awwww, guys, I thought it was my turn to disguise myself as <Guild Masters name>"
Epic PC1 and 2: "Shut up Roy! Everyone and their mother see's through your disguises"
Guild Master: "You all suck...."
