[edit] Introduction
This is a character that progressively become more and more evil. it is also somewhat amusing in that it uses a orc double axe to sneak attack, not more traditional weapons.

Though if you want to use a weapon other than a double axe, you can be any race you like

[edit] Spells, Powers, Items
A double axe is the main weapon I have chosen for this build, as such the best one affordable should be a high priority item. Additionally any stat boosting items are very helpful to this character

[edit] Progression
Ideal starting stats:
- Strength 14 (+2)
- Dexterity 18 (+4)
- Constitution 12 (+1)
- Intelligence 14 (+2)
- Wisdom 14 (+2)
- Charisma 18 (+4)
Obviously these stats will be very unlikely to be obtained at level 1, so try and maximize DEX and CHA. You can use magic items to increase INT and WIS to 14+ later for spell casting

[edit] Highlights
High survivability due to many levels having d10 hit die as well as good saves and many defensive class features. This build also has 4th level arcane and Divine spells
[edit] Munchkin-Size Me
[edit] Side Notes
[edit] Limitations
Weak against anything immune to sneak attacks. Also, this build suffers heavily from MAD, though this can be partially off-set by magic items
