Re: Character Build Help
Unless you have a particular reason not to include fighter then it is always the ideal one to choose as the base for WM, even if you are planning on a dex build; you will get your first WM at level 7.
I normally build as follows:
Fighter: 1 - 6, 15, 24,
Wm: 7, 9-14, 16, 19-23, 25-39
A.N.Other: 8, 17-18, 40
Built with elf or halfling and using kukri or short-sword as weapon means you can get a high AB, high AC character, althoguh I have also built with daggers, maces and anything else suitable for the Finesse feat.
The 3rd class is pretty much optional as below:
Rogue or Assassin, for throwing magic around and have high tumble.
Monk, high tumble, running around just that little bit faster than everyone else
Ranger, you know you want the edge with two weapons
Paladin, you just want to smite someone now and again
etc
If you want an idea of feats to pick throughout this then let me know, but again, reasonably optional once you have reached level 7. Up until then they are obligatory in the following order: Dodge, Mobility, Expertise, Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack, Weapon Focus - I normally throw Weapon Finesse in at level 1 just because it's a dex build and it will help from the start.
Strength builds, the party-tanks, are a subject for a whole different post, and if you want spellcasters then Toot is your man.
So, back to the original question for this thread, I would recommend a Fighter/WM/Rogue option. You will have a lethal kukri-wielder at the end of it, be able to grab a shield when required for that AC boost, and to throw spells in for good measure, just to add to the general confusion - surely it doesn't get to be any more fun than that (I have one of these, she goes through DPG like the proverbial hot knife through butter).
