Frenzied Swashbuckling Master SB(3)/F(14)/WM(7)/FB(6)

'''WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS BUILD SERIOUSLY. IT IS A POWER BUILD ON A TECHNICALITY ONLY.'''

This build was designed to take advantage of the fact that a small swashbuckler can reach a higher ability bonus to damage (+2.5*INT) than a RDD with 50 STR can (+30). Weapon Master was included to take advantage of the fact that this build must use rapiers, one of the WM's best weapons. Frenzied Berserker is there just because I could.

The build would be better overall as a Svirfneblin SB3/F12/Dls8/WM7 (higher AB, AC, SR, saves) but would not reach the damage potential that this build has. SB3/Brd1/F18/RDD8, again Svirfneblin, is in some ways better as well (+2 INT, +2 more Great INT, AB, HP, Saves, SR and AC) but would mean 40% xp penalties on top of ECL 3 and giving up WM so not worth it under most circumstances. Come to think of it, MotB happens to be plenty of those circumstances. Svirf SB/B/WM/RDD is just stupid and lacking all the bonus feats that make WM possible.

In order to reach this build's full damage potential, a +12 bonus to its INT is necessary: Either attaining the Devotion of the Red Wizard feat and its +2 INT and then eating Safiya for her +10 INT essence, or going all out with the Amulet of Betrayal Personified.

I would like to point out that this build is not a power build in the sense that it cannot stand up to most power builds, if any. This build is however designed as a shameless munchkin min-maxer, capable of higher unbuffed damage than any other melee build (but with a +INT item), and in that sense can be classified as a power build.

Pros
 * 2.5xINT damage
 * 40% of attack rolls are critical threats
 * Lots of skill points for a fighter
 * 2-handed Enhanced Power Attack

Cons
 * Low saves
 * Low AC
 * Low HP for a frontline fighter
 * GLASS CANNON - HEAL PLZ LOTS KTHNX!!!
