Redid this build as upon alot of thought I don't think it will cut it with its low AC and low Conceal as a double weapon user.
SUBRACE: Stinger (UR Secret Subrace)
GENERAL INFO: Again we have a Hybrid Staffmaster build. Having played my Current SM up to 55 and enjoying it alot, I decided to attempt another hybrid build. The idea was to try and make a SM that did everything. While this may not be completely possible, I do feel that this is a solid build that can take advantage of several key factors.
For instance, you not have to rely as much as a Regular SM on a Mord's Ring, You will not have to rely on Lev or Water rings as well which is a SM bane. And you will have some SOLID casting power.

~Skills~
You have an ungodly amount of Skill points, Use them as you will
Build Notes and Tactics:
This build will be VERY difficult until you can get to level 27. Until that point you will be Only able to cast 8th level spells as you will be using Heavy armor and Stilling ALL of your spells, However once you reach level 27 This build qualifies for the Auto Still III. This will help you alot, then you can unstill all of your spells, And pick up your Wails. Upon hitting lev 20 PM you will adopt the Lich form reducing your size to Med, Giving you the ability to NOT breath underwater, and you will have long since acquired some nifty PM stuff like immunity to Sneak Att, and Crits. Combined with the Stinger STR bonus and The strider ability this works out nicely. If you use the extended version of Displacment, this build will also have 50% Concealment
Build Strengths: No need for Water or Lev ring, Immunity to Crits and Sneak Attacks, Necro Spell pen of 71 @ level 60, Wail DC of 52 @ 60, Strong Fort save, Good Attack Bonus, 50% Conceal, Damage shields, Lich song @ level 33, almost 1K HP, and 7 Attacks per round, most at max AB. Not as Dependant on Mords Ring. AC of 128.
Build Weakness: Low Reflex saves. Non Necro Caster level of only 30. No evasion
~ In Closing ~
This will be a really tricky build to play, I would not recommend it for noobs, however it will also be very powerful in alot of LL areas as it has very good wail ability, good penetration on that spell, can dish out some NICE spell damage, then has really good Melee capability as well.
