[HolyMan]

Wait... wait...

You buy a Holy Avenger and still have a 1/4 million gp left over?? What?

[Padreigh]

Isn't starting money for 20th level 880,000 GP?
A Holy Avenger costs 120630 GP ...

 

[HolyMan]

Your numbers are correct, but how do they justify a Holy Avenger costing less than a...

+5 holy longsword of speed(cost: 200,315gp)?

[jackslate45]

it's a Holy Avenger?


Its also normally a +2 cold iron Longsword for everyone else. That might be why its priced cheaper. Besides, a 3 wish luck blade is 142,960 gp. For 3 wishes!

 

[Padreigh]

I assume because it a +2 cold iron longsword for everyone but paladins.

I'd like to start up the Rogue's Gallery.

I would also like everyone to give me a few generic numbers so I can design encounters: Their highest attack bonus, and the attack bonus they'll use most regularly (or an average of the most FREQUENTLY used attacks).

For Spellcasters, I don't know. Maybe save DCs? Suggestions?

I'm not trying to tpk, I just want to have an idea of what you can do.

Holy Avenger: huh. weird. maybe the +2 cold iron part. Dunno. Ask James Jacobs?

 

[Lughart]

Normal attack bonus: +41

Highest possible attack bonus: +43 (undeadbane weapon)

AC: 40

CMD: 45 (in case someone tries to swallow me or something)

 

[fireinthedust]

+41? Let me guess: str, magic item, weapon focus, buff spells?

 

[Lughart]

+20 bab, +9 str (including magic belt), +2 weapon focus & greater weapon focus, +5 magic weapon, +5 weapon training fighter class feature. Pathfinder did some nice things for the fighter.

Note that if we're ever captured and I have to fight with a chair leg, it'll drop by 15.

By the way, if the party ends up being as big as it looks like now, I'll drop leadership. We can build an organization the old fashioned way if we feel like it.
