Hi everyone. I need some suggestions for a Shadowdancer build. The character is being played by my DM (I don't like DMPCs either but she's the only one willing to run...) who is not an optimizer. She doesn't even consider what kind of feats she's taking until she gets to the level that allows her to do so, but she is willing to take suggestions. Currently her character is a second level rogue with the feats Acrobatic and Dodge and she's told me that she's wanting to get into Shadowdancer as soon as possible. It's not a dip either. She wants to play a Shadowdancer and that means she wants to be able to Shadow Jump.
She recently got the Book of Nine Swords so I'm going to try to get her to look at some of the Shadow Hand maneuvers and see if those could work, but in she's not interested I was hoping that maybe someone could help me out in a competent build for a full Shadowdancer. It doesn't need to be an uber-build either. Here's the party for comparison:
Bridget: Human Rogue 2 (The DMPC)
Elias: Human Swashbuckler 1, Fighter 1 (Uses TWF with a Rapier and Shield Bash. I imagine he'll head into a Bo9 class once he's become more familiar with the book.)
Malik: Elf Druid 1 (My (new) character. Planning to stay straight druid.)
Sir Jett: Human Knight 2 (New player. Not very familiar with basic abilities or rules yet.)
The only books I know my DM has access to are the core rulebooks, Book of Nine Swords, Complete Warrior, the Book of Vile Darkness and Deities and Demigods. What do you guys suggest I suggest?
Edit: I also forgot to mention that she LOVES multi-classing so she'll definitely need some Bard in there too...
