Okay, this is a character build I snagged off the net. Yes, this is the infamous "Ferromancer" build I was always raving about. Now, I tried to revise this by taking nine levels of assassin instead of the nine levels of wizard, but I didn't manage to quite get this to work. Any ideas on how to alter this build for this module?

Advantages
-Epic Dodge. He avoids the first attack each turn
-Level 5 Mage spells. He can cast mage spells, to buffs himself, and inflict injury on his opponents
-Maxed out Use Magic Devices. He can cast any spell from a scroll and use equipment for other classes.
-Improved Evasion. Vs. spells his saves are pretty good, so he should be able to avoid most spell damage. His will save is low so a will save boosting item is high on his list.
-14D6 Sneak Attack. Coupled with darkness, invisibility spells and combat feats he should do major damage against opponents who are vulnerable to sneak attacks.
-Improved Knockdown and Disarm. This should help with sneak attacks and combat survivability.
-Good AC with just +5 items and attribute buffs. He can raise that further by switching out a shortsword for a tower shield.

Disadvantages
-Low Hitpoints. He only has 320 hitpoints, with his other abilities he should do alright, but over 400 would be preferable.
-Low will save.
-Mediocre AB. He can boost it quickly with true strike, and greater magic weapon in the long run. but it could be a problem in a high magic world. Taunt should help as well.
-Low damage against the sneak attack immune. He does have UMD and his spells to fall back on here. Flame Weapon helps quite a bit too.
-XP penalty at level 21.

Notes

This character was designed for situations where devastating critical is banned. With just +5 equipment he did manage to kill a prismatic dragon, but he had to burn through several scrolls of true strike.
