So i was wondering what people thought about the spy class from the srd site, its in a 3rd party book? What i was thinking in particular, was using it as a template to make something crazy and different than the basic spy, by using all the feats it can select with its spy talents, instead of the special talents it can get like fast stealth, etc (i would still take a few of those too). Seems likei could pick a nodachi, and load up on expanded crit feat and make My dm's day a nightmare. I wss thinking about taking 4 levels of magus(kensai) to be able to maximise my weapon damage or increase crit multiplier, as well as get a few spells to augment my sneaky-melee, but maybe not.
Levels 2-10 lets me pick a combat feat at 2, 4, 6, 8, and level 10 give advanced talent which could give a feat at 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, & 20 (i think). Combined to the feats a character gets at every other level starting at 1, that equals a feat every level...right? Please tell me if im wrong, im rusty with these rules, but that would essentially mean a feat at every level in addition to rhe sneak attack progression and other stuffz the spy gets.
NUMBER ONE thing about this is that i would be flavored other than a spy, more like a special agent, with a big sword haha! What is the best way to get a crazy crit range? A no dachi with keen, improved crit, and...? Is there a way to increase it further? And what would it be, 18-20 -> 16-20 -> 12-20/x2?
Basically want to make a sneaky crit machine, that can infiltrate places but is also extremely charming and likeable. With a giant sword. :)
Anything good to dip with this? Flurry of blows, or the oversized weapon barb to weild the no dachi in one hand? The aforementioned kensai?
My numbers are 18, 16, 16, 14, 13, 12. Thanks if you reply to this!
