Hi all! I'd like some help optimizing for a bit of an odd campaign a friend is putting me through.
So for starters, it's an Epic campaign, specifically level 25. The theme is that I am restricted entirely to classes in Tome of Battle, although anything non-classes can come from anywhere else, and I must pick one of the nine disciplines and theme my character primarily around it. Whichever discipline I pick, I'm automatically granted a fully-unlocked Legacy Weapon of that discipline.
So with so many oddball conditions, here's the idea I've got:
Shadow Hand is my discipline. Was thinking of (Unarmed) Swordsage 14/Shadow Sun Ninja 10 with one LA for my favourite race, Dvati.
Due to what the DM is calling "License for cruelty", I'm given a stat spread of 18/16/14/12/10/10 to assign as I like.
Budget is 2m flat, the extra bit lopped off to warrant Umbral Awn.
So, I'm fumbling along, but am here asking for any help anybody has to provide on a super stealthy SS/SSN. Please and thank you in advance.
Rudimentary thoughts so far: Abusing Dvati's "one being" thing to teleport Umbral Awn between them with the RAW reading of Shadowhand, picking up Skill Knowledge: Iaijutsu Focus perhaps to exploit Shadowhand more, flanking with myself, etc... Probably none of these are very good, but just wanted to share my thought processes so far.
