He opens with a charge and takes advantage of Gang Up or ordinary flanking when his comrades’ tactics make them possible. When he is unable to charge, he will use his move action to study his target and his standard action to turn invisible before unleashing his attack the next round. At level 9 the blinding path is in full gear. He opens combat by studying and blinding opponents and then sneak attacking, re-applying blindness as a swift action or through Quick Dirty Trick as needed.
My initial question was why take Combat Expertise AND Dirty Fighting, but then I stupidly realized that CE is needed for Gang Up which Dirty Fighting does not work for.
I am intending to play this for a level 10 game where im coing in at book 4 of CotCT (no spoilers please, was asked to make something that could deal with traps as apparently they are coming up and party lacked sorely in that department) im considering dropping Dirty Fighting for Trap Spotter though I havent decided yet.
Thanks for your time in looking it over.
