This player character build (monk 20/ shadowdancer 1/ assassin 19) is a forward scout and opportunistic fighter. This character is intended to slip behind an enemy unnoticed and unleash a flurry of deadly strikes (10d6 death attacks, possibly augmented by a poisoned weapon). Monk speed allows this scout to move as fast in stealth mode as other characters normally run, while keen senses give the benefits of detect mode at this speed.
