Yea, I was considering going Deva/Revenant cheese, but decided against it. It would be a late paragon/early epic trick anyways, and if I opt to go with the stealth upgrades I was talking about, there probably won't even be room until mid epic.

This is very similar to my build, cept I went with hengeyokai instead of revenant. Been a lot of fun thus far.

Revenant is a pretty vital part of the build (build defining IMO). Nice that you can still play as another race and enjoy it.
Still, Shuriken Spam with Death Attack and lots of shrouds is a fairly friendly level of optimization for IRL. I'd play it.

Well, what I did was go alchemist for perma poison, use the ongoing 2 poison on my shirukens, and any thing I kill I get a shroud, anything else I get 5 thps if they fail the save. (Beshiba's boon)
So it's a win win, either I kill outright, which makes the encounter over quicker, or I get a nice bit of padding to make myself tougher

Your actually only at +32 to hit, check your math. I'll one up you with my build, an Osassin, capable of killing 2 standard brutes EACH encounter, or very close, at least one for sure. I havent run the math but its easily over 200 dpr with each minor nova round or 300+ if I use both minors(yeah theme and multiclass rogue) Show

Frost Cheese and Unkillable revenants have been done to death (pun intended), which is why I typically don't bother to include their elements in any of my builds.
Keep in mind that Sohei requires a melee weapon attack, iirc.

All my attacks are weapon, and I only used the revenant death cheese for filler, I couldnt find more feats for dpr, but no ones made an assassin that can kill 2 brutes each encounter, yours cant even kill one! And they say assassins have crappy DPR. Ok highest lvl 22 brute as 258 hp and I'm averaging 248 with a single minor nova round. So I cant claim to one shot kill any brute but I'm pretty damned close. Need to find a way to muster a little more damage Math

How were you able to take Ninja and get Assassin's Strike on a non-essentials assassin? The only way I can get it is to take Executioner's Guild as my guild training option, which would let me take ninja?

Rathyr, if the DM goes with those assumptions (even tho I don't see any harm to give Shrouds a little juice) it's a very interesting build.
Now one thing, kinda off topic, is bugging me...
When and where Wizards Updated the Gauntlets of Blood to +3 instead of the old +2 ?
Lol, sorry for my dumb question. Now I see that u mean +1 from Ki-focus Expertise and +2 from gauntlet.
My bad
