Heya, I was browsing the old collection of dicefreaks NPCs when I stumbled upon an Entreri build.
At first glance I assumed they used Urban Ranger (which I think is a great idea), took away spellcasting and gave him 1d6 sneak attack at level 1, +1d6 for every 4 levels.
Stats don't add up though, so I considered a gestalt build (Urban Ranger// Fighter/Rogue/Tempest?), but that doesn't fit either.
Would you guys have a look? I'm just curious if they just gave him a bunch of free stuff (apart from Finesse and that specific version of Death Attack, as I'm not aware of a way to replicate either of those two abilities) or if they actually built the NPC "by the rules".

*Complete Warrior, ** PHB2
Climate/Terrain: Calimport
Organization: Solitary (unique)
Challenge Rating: 18
Treasure: Possessions
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Death Attack (Ex): Artemis can study his target for three rounds and make a Sense Motive check (DC 20 + HD + Wisdom modifier). If he is successful, his next attack against the target when flatfooted is treated as a coup de grace. Sneak attack damage is not added to this save DC. Opponents immune to critical hits are not affected by this ability.
Ambidextrous: Entreri can wield a weapon in each hand as easily as he can wield one.
Finesse (Ex): Artemis treats longswords as light weapons.
Possessions: Charon's Claw is a +5 smoking longsword of greater wounding. Those that touch it are affected by disintegrate (20th caster level, 40d6 damage, Will DC 18). This contact must be for a round or longer, merely getting struck with the blade does not carry this effect.
Entreri's jeweled dagger is a +4 soulstealing dagger. It bestows 1 negative level on those struck by the blade and heals the wielder 10 hit points for each level so bestowed.
Entreri also wears a gauntlet which absorbs magic. He is protected from spells and spell-like abilities by a personal range antimagic field. He may use disjunction on magic items and effects with a touch. (Caster level 20th)
