This leaves no other slots for spells like heal.He cannot have both Improved Critical and Improved Two Weapon Fighting as a 14th level cleric. This character was created at 13th or 14th level. Or this would have been seen during character advancement.He is reduced to casting divine power and divine favour, as well as the flame blades. Every combat, as he lacks persitent spell. This reduces the number of rounds he is available for combat. Every round he spends boosting is one where the fighters up front get beat up on. This requires at least 2 rounds, and so is not trivial.So yeah, I'd allow empowered empowered flameblades It burns up a lot of spell slots to get this effective. Spell slots and rounds.2d8 + 7 (the bonus damage isn't part of the variable, ), attacking with a melee touch attack, crit range 20/x2 (he doesn't have Imp Crit yet...), 5 attacks; +20 (+14 Ftr BAB, +4 Str, +4 luck, -2 2-wpn)/+20 / +15 / +15 / +10Obvious counters:Fire creaturesIncorporeal creatures (50% miss chance)Protection from FireDispel MagicBlinkSneak AttackRanged Attacks (readied?)Varying encounters so it is less predictable as to what will be efficient. Can cramp the style of the party if they can't go ethereal, can't heal, can't Air Walk.It does look fun when it occurs, but is it really so often the other players feel sidelined?</blockquote>
