viscious

[Rakusia]

hey does anyone think its a good idea to make a rogue with high hp so i can use viscious to further add to sneak attack damage?

Personally i have never liked Viscous it my least favorite weapon enchantment of all time followed shortly by Vorpal (but thats a different story). I have a problem with anything that damage yourself cause in general the extra hp could be the amount used to with stand a blow and get in the little extra that drops the enemy.

There have only been two times where i have liked on was for a friend of mines character who was both a masochist and sadist so it fit the character very well and the other was for a NPC Troll warlord who had a Viscous great axe so the damage to its self didn't really matter much because of its regeneration.

I would save up for a +2 enchanment like collison (one of the few enchanments that get multiplyed on a crit) or a personal favorite of mine vampiric (1d6 extra damage may not be much extra damage but the fact that you get healed that same amount gives your character so staying power... i wish my dm let me use wrathful healing )

good point but idk we kinda have a standing rule that everyone gets a +1 enchant on their weapon of choice. usually dm chooses the chant though. and we did this cause we do a lot of pick up stand alone adventures and at least one guy always brings in a character from a high magic story line so were trying to keep it kinda fair

Bane is good if you know that the Adventure will heavy with a certain type of creature. Also can't go wrong with one of the standerd elemental enchaments, i would choose corrosive though a weapon that can melt through things with a mere touch is kinda badass, also solid from a mechanical standpoint as its one of the fewest resisted elements and can do leathal damage to most thing with regeneration.

hmmm ill have to look into that one. i generaly like throwing myself but was looking for something to kick my dps into high gear

I find Viscious useful if you've got a source of healing. Maybe if you're a crusader, or a dwarf who can heal from drinking alcohol.

 

[Rakusia]

wait couldnt you put viscious on main hand and vampiric on off?that way you get the extra 2d6 while your healed from the damage you give yourself

 

[Pergentile]

That extra life could just get you more rounds attacking, and so either way you would get the extra damage.

Try Mortal bane, since it gives +2d6 against anything subject to critical hits/sneak attack damage, and if your DM is nice, you can reasonably argue that because of its nature, the 2d6 should be multiplied on a critical hit.

oh hadnt thought about that. thinking about just waiting until i can get speed attached though

1. Mortalbane is for SLA's.
2. Damage dice are never multiplied.
