some of you might be familiar with the Shadow Dancer Prestige Class from the Forgotten Realms ( http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Shadowdancer ).
While it is obvious to take Sneak up to Shadow Warrior and Illusion for Muffle/Invisibility, the question remains what perks/Skills would support the build niceley.
In my opinion, the Shadow Dancer should use Swords instead of daggers. But what about Dual Wielding? Do you think it suits the playstyle, or should I rely on repeated Invisibility-Casting + Backstabbing (with the Sword)? Actually yes, I think.
Another topic is alchemy. It somehow doesn`t feel right to craft poisons for me; what is your opinion about the subject? Would you spec into the poison branch of alchemy? Or just concentrate on the beneficial potions (invisibility potions obviously; fortify sneak, fortify onehand etc.pp.)? I am not really sure what to think here.
Then; what`s about enchanting? Fire - and Shockenchantments are out off the window for me, they are to flashy. But somehow, I associate "Shadows" with "cold", there for "Frost" would fit, don`t you think? Or perhaps the silent moon enchant, too?
What enchantments would you put on the Shadowdancer`s gear? Fortify Sneak is overkill.
And finally, Archery - I don`t want to use it, though. As backup weapon against dragons, or to lure enemies. yes. But using big bows or, god beware, crossbows seems not very agile, aka "dancy" to me.
However, I am open to suggestions and would really appreciate some ideas!
