The Weapon Master Assassin

[Arctic]

8 Fighter/ 7 Weapon Master/ 15 Assassin

Race: I used drow for thematic reasons, but any race without a penalty to str, dex or int should work. Half-Orcs work great, freeing 6 attribute points from strength to put in constitution or other attributes. Any race without a penalty to dexterity, int or strength should work great (Unless you can offset the int penalty with a str bonus).

Attributes:
Strength 18 - 26
Dexterity 14
Constitution 10
Intelligence 14
Wisdom 8
Charisma 8

Stats, assuming +5 gear and maxed strength:

Hitpoints: 240
Armor Class: 55
Base Attack: 23
Attack Bonus: 47 (49 with bless, aid)
Fortitude: 14
Reflex: 19
Will: 10


Skillpoints: 122 (146 before intimidate and hide/ms requirements)

Hi,

I've been looking for something similar. I wanted to make a STR based assassin and this look really exciting. I'm assuming your weapon choice is sword and board and not using a 2hander?

Is 15 levels assassin good enough to get the most out of its death attack and new abilities?
