Rocked Shadowdragon - F(16),Brd(2),RDD(10),SD(2)

Rocked Shadowdragon - Fighter 16 / Bard 2 / Red Dragon Disciple 10 / Shadowdancer 2

Description
The idea of this build was to maximize the knockdown strength of a HiPS capable build. You get STR 40 with all Weapon Focus and Specialization and Improved/Power Critical Feats. Add a +8 Strength Item (48 STR!) and there is hardly anything that can withstand your HiPS support Improved Knockdown attack.

Advantages:
 * unbuffed STR 40
 * Hide in Plain Sight (maxed Hide and Move Silently)
 * Inspire Competence for +2 to all Skills (including Hide and Move Silently)
 * 398 Hit Points and naked AC of 19
 * All Weapon Focus and Specialization feats for your choice of weapon (here: Scythe) (because of the Falchion bug, you can't use Falchion feats as fighter bonus feats), either use a Large Weapon (recommend: Scythe or Greatsword) or a Medium Weapon (recommend: Scimitar or Rapier) with a Shield for AC bonus.

Disadvantages:
 * no Spot or Listen
 * no 6th Attack (BAB 25)
 * no Sneak Attack bonus damage
 * no Weapon Master levels to improve your chance for a critical hit

Progression: Skills
Total Skill Points: 165
