Do you recall the bar fight from the movie Kill Bill 1? The lieutenant of the crazy 88 (or what their name was) used a staff that could be divided into two halfs, each one bearing a blade that used the other half as scabbard. Combine that with a locking mechanism and you get a) a short...

If your pixie survives first level, think of adding a level or two of rogue. Evasion is your friend against those nasty area effects. And adding some d6 sneak attack damage to rays and such will help to improve damage output. Shouldn´t be a big deal with greater invis ;)

I´d say any door that needs a search check to be seen.

Add some Tempest levels to reduce the TWF penalties :)

All that happened in a cave, so staying away from the dragon meant to stay outside the cave. The vampire made a good guess and was lucky. Being a wizard 2 means only 1st level spells. And not too many of them. The other +4 to the ecl are level adjustment for the pixie! All I wanted was to point...

If I´m getting this right, normally when adding stacking bonuses to an effect, all bonusses are calculated with the original number as a base. The range increment of a longbow (100ft) of distance (RIx2) used with far shot (RIx1.5) is 100ft+100ft+50ft=250ft and not 100ftx2x1.5=300ft. Or (in 3.0)...

It will. It´s hard to hit you ,with greater invis and damage reduction, but when you get hit, you´re toast. That´s my experience from playing a pixie wizard level2 (ecl 6). Fighting a young blue dragon with blindsense, going from 12 to -9 hp by its breath. Or later, at level 3, getting four...

Sneak attack damage is precision based, so it applies only once. At least with shuriken or manyshot. I´m inclined to say it´s the same with rays. Orm

OK, it´s not exactly the same, but maybe this helps. The maximised part is only applied to the normal damage roll, the the critical damage is rolled normally. Orm

Combine this with a ring of spell storing, loaded with true strike :)

As long as you know your oppponent and can prepare for the fight, a spell storing weapon can be useful even at higher levels. Cure wounds against undead, touch of idiocy against spellcasters, suggestion against fighter types. Spells like shocking grasp against creatures with vulnerability...

At least after investing a lot of resources: feats, two (magic) weapons instead of one,...

As I mentioned, it´s strong. But it´s up to the DM to let them come up in the game. And the DM can adjust their power by appropriate encounters. IIRC, you have to deal normal hp damage to deal CON damage as well. So no touch attack, and DR applies. Wounding daggers or other light weapons...

The wounding ability is quite strong, no question. The more HD something has, the worse. But each wounding weapon costs at least 18000+ gp so investing 36000+ gp should earn you something. Beside of that, creatures immune to critical hits are immune to this CON damage and at higher levels there...

<sigh> no bleeding(x2) wounds. Should have been clear, as with all named bonuses. But can you combine Arterial Strike with Hamstring? They are different bonuses. Use a wounding weapon for making bleeding wounds for CON damage and hp damage.

I don´t think so. That´s what the tumble check is for. It says "immediately" in the description. I suppose it´s a bonus attack. "...make an immediate attack..." Orm

Does Bleeding Wound stack with Arterial Strike? So that you can forgo 2d6 for 2 points of damage per round? Add in Hamstring to slow the baddies down. Orm

Yes. That´s exactly what I wanted to say. Orm

They both apply to all arrows fired in one attack. But a crit can only be scored with the first arrow, as manyshot states. So, the +20 from true strike applies to all arrows, whereas the effect of hunter´s mercy -a potential crit- only applies to the first arrow.
