Re: [3.5] Mundane VoP Build
I think I went about this the wrong way
There's more to DnD than what you contribute to a fight
With that in mind
Race: Changeling
Alignment: any good
Template: Dragonborn of bahamut (for wings though your mount could provide that so you can skip it)
Alternate class features and substitution levels
Rogue
- social intuition
Level 1 Rogue Wild cohort (very useful bodyguard that you can boost with your auras)
Level 2 Marshal
Level 3 Marshal Skill focus: bluff
Level 4 Marshal
Level 5 Marshal
Level 6 Charlatan Knowledge devotion (Marshal has all knowledge skills, so will exemplar) or craven
Level 7 Charlatan
Level 8 Charlatan
Level 9 Charlatan Craven or knowledge devotion
Level 10 Charlatan
Level 11+ Exemplar
Level 12 Quick draw
Level 15 TWF
Level 18 ITWF
Ok so this is a counterintuitive build, it's a mundane class optimized for diplomancy and bluff (CHA is your main stat)
Social rogue means you can take 10 on all social skills and you start with 10x4 skillpoints
Charlatan makes you a pseudo EX caster
Wild cohort grants you a warrior mount that you ride everywhere
Marshal lets you motivate Charisma (minor aura) + 1 major aura to boost your allies
Exemplar gives you all skills (so Iaijutsu focus is fair game) and you can take 10 on it with the exemplar ability, same with the knowledge skills)
You can throw daggers to trigger iaijutsu focus due to wonky writing of the skill
Craven gives you some kind of bonus damage to let you pull your weight for a bit, marshal lets you grant move actions to other more combat oriented classes
Just about all of your abilities are EX
Your damage is not spectacular but your skills give you enough versatility to help out in most encounters and, since you take 10 on everything, nothing is up to chance.

Re: [3.5] Mundane VoP Build
Right, I forgot the feat tax for vow of poverty
I guess I can remove craven and trade sneak attack for a feat (martial rogue) , there aren't that many useful sacred feats except nymph's kiss and vow of nonviolence, you wisdom isn't that high so intuitive strike won't help much either.
knowledge devotion + iaijutsu focus will have to be enough, you can use skill tricks to trigger iaijutsu focus too
ideally you take flaws to count for VOP (though playing VOP is already a huge debuff)Last edited by Soranar; 2021-07-26 at 11:57 PM.

You don't have to take incarnum classes to make use of soulmelds so long as you've got enough feats to burn.

Re: [3.5] Mundane VoP Build
Stumbled across something while looking for something else entirely.
Bad news for VoP giants, I am afraid (at least by strict RAW):
