Well, my latest AI idea--the exciting-for-a-PhD one--finally collapsed into a smoldering heap of intractability, as expected. Within the wreckage is another idea which is already well on its way to suffering the same fate, but I'll give it a shot, anyway

How do you build this out? What's the full level by level progression? Skills etc? What weapon did you go with?

In retrospect, I should probably have bumped INT to 14 at level 4 for an extra skill (probably Tumble).

I have an off-shoot build of this: Bard 1/Fighter 7/Weapon Master 7/RDD 5. The idea is to get STR 25 in anticipation of Devastating Critical at level 21 in the expansion. Unfortunately, it really wrecks the feat progression. I'm strangely obsessed with Dev Crit, even though I never took it in NWN 1, and it probably won't make much difference anyway (the stuff you couldn't kill with crit damage alone will probably make the save vs. death).

Oh, weapon is scimitar, chosen for the 18-20/x2 crit profile, and because I prefer using a shield most of the time, but still like having the option to go two-handed style.

I still prefer great sword or (super munchkin) Falchion but I hate most of the models for them.

Katana is nice (mostly looks cool) but of course burns a feat.

If you know you'll have someone around to cast "I Win" on you (i.e., barkskin/tortoise shell + stoneskin + flame weapon), then yeah, going two-handed would be great. For a WM build like this, I'd probably opt for the scythe over the greatsword or falchion, since the scythe has the best crit behavior of all weapons.
