[3.5] Making Corvo from Dishonored

[Kansaschaser]

So, I was playing Dishonored the other day and I was trying to figure out how to make him into a D&D character. He's very much a Rogue/Swordsage type of character.

The Darkvision, Teleport, and Wind Blast abilities I can kind of fit into a Swordsage, but there are a few abilities that I have a hard time cramming into a character under level 20 (that isn't broken like Pun-Pun).

Some of the other abilities are...

Posession. This allows the character from Dishonored to "posses" animals and humans. You actually turn into smoke and posses them like a ghost.

Time Stop. This works almost exactly like the spell Time Stop, but how could this be worked into a character that isn't such a high level?

Rat Swarm. Lets you summon a swarm of rats. That's pretty much it.

Rat swarm is easy with Warlock, you can do it as much as you like.

[DoughGuy]

Detect Life
Haste/Slow until you can time stop
Dimension Door
Summon swarm
Dominate and turn invis. Or dominate and be a ghost.

SO Warlock going into Swiftblade would be nice but that's impossible. So some sort of gish seems best since he can still fight.

What am I missing? Haste?


Trapsmith 1+ or a Haste at-will item
This would require Rogue to get Trapfinding and Assassin 1 to get Poison Use.
Spells:
Arcane Sight
Haste

Possession is less common in D&D.

You could go into the Fiend of Possession class. You need to be an Outsider with the [Evil] subtype to do that.

Wow, I think most of these fit the bill. I'd probably use Warlock 6 / Rogue 3 / Swordsage 10 / Master of Masks 1.
