Hey there.
For my non-optimized 3.5 group, I did chose to play a sneaky, shadowy character.
Rogue3/XX2/Avenger2/TFSL6/Avenger7.
I want to build a sneaky character which deals lots of damage (sneak attack).
In combat, he does turn the battlefield into a shadowy area (darkness).
In that area, he jumps around and stabs his enemies (dimension door, shadow jump, shadow pounce).
In this area, he's in his element, gaining advantage over the enemy (darkvision, concealment, blind-fight, shadow discorporation).
Our DM modified the character progession system so that we can have up to 10 bonus charlvl feats (1 new at each uneven numbered character lvl or later, if we use the points on these instead of on stats).
Now my question is:
What are the best options to dip into with the two missing lvls (4th, 5th)?
Swordsage and ToB are not allowed at all.
I thought about Rogue2/Swashbuckler3, which would give me INT on dmg and weapon finesse for free, >and< more sneak attack, but I'd lose penetrating strike and wouldn't be able to deal any dmg to sa/crit immune enemies.
Fighter doesn't give me enough, I guess.
Maybe Factotum? Would give INT to my shadow discorporation so that I don't ever fail surviving.
Another question: Does it make any sense to use unseen seer for that build, in one way or another? As far as I know, unseen seer is more caster than anything else and should better be used in a build with as high CL as possible. So should I ignore it?
