Ok, so I've got this character I'm working on, but I don't know what to do with his last 3-5 levels or so. But I don't want him casting. His current (very rough) build:
Unarmed Swordsage 2/Sentinel (NG Paladin) 2/Human Paragon 3 (advancing Swordsage)/Shiba Protector 1/Dragon Warrior 10/?2
His basic identity is a martial artist with (resolved over the course of the build) anger issues and distaste for Undead. Basically, when his city is overrun by a bunch of LE Undead, he retreats into the mountains to study under a legendary martial artist (Swordsage). He returns to town as a traditional hero type trying to save his hometown from Undead (Sentinel/Paragon/Shiba), gets increasingly frustrated/angry to the point it becomes a detriment, then goes off to travel the world and get it under control (Dragon Warrior).
I'm not married to the Human Paragon Levels at all and with a good enough idea I wouldn't really mind giving up the last three levels of Dragon Warrior. I want to maintain his Wisdom SAD (as currently constructed, with one feat (Serenity) he gets Wis to Hit, damage (x2 with one discipline's strikes), ACx2, all his saves, and HP for every Dragon Warrior level), I don't want him casting, and any classes he takes have to be accessible for an NG character, but other than that I'm pretty open minded. He's already taking 4-5 classes (depending on if I keep the Paragon levels), so I'd prefer suggestions that only add a class or so to the mix.
As thematically appropriate as it is, please no Barbarian as its primary class feature (rage) doesn't stack with the very similar class feature of Dragon Warrior (which is the core of the build), and it also kinda clashes with his background as a city dweller.
Bonus points for stuff that makes him better at fighting Undead, or anything that gets him Evasion or Mettle.
