------
Shadowblades are generally never spoken of, and even if they are, it's usually something complementary. Shadowblades are feared assassins and great heroes alike. Their intense training has left their senses a little dull, but otherwise they are extremely skilled, intelligent fighters. Shadowblades are also known for their kindness toward wizards (for stuff, mostly), and their love of money.

Some points to mention, this build shows exetreme promise even at earlier levels. Pick up armor and use it until you have gained your second or third level in Invisible Blade. The armor trade off between skills of the IB and protection with armor is a judgement call you'll have to make. By the 4th level of IB however, you will have a +4 AC bonus from INT if you use your points wisely, possibly more if you are on the 28 or 32 pt buy system.
Focus on weapons early. Deargar likes daggers, but in working with this character I prefer Kruki's. It adds style and they are more beneficial number wise anyway.
Another point worth mentioning here in my opinion, see if your DM will let you trade the EX abaility of Bleeding Wound for Exotic Weapon proficiency. I have found that a Shadowblade with kama's on chains would be exetremely deadly. 10 ft reach, 1d6, and ability to make trip attempts after each attack.
I haven't really found a use for Bleeding Wound nor have I seen it in action.
