[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 109479, member: 3146"] [b]A different Dwarven Dragon smackdown[/b] My advice: drop the rogue levels for more dragon disciple levels. The extra strength from the size increase and the full dragon disciple class really adds up. Dwarf Ftr 4/Sor1/Bbn 1/Dragon Disciple 10 Str: 16 (base)+4 stat increases+8 Dragon Disciple+8 Dragon Disciple Enlargement+4 belt+4 rage+2 book=46 (+18 bonus) Feats: Power Attack, Cleave, Combat Reflexes, Power Lunge, Weapon Focus: Heavy Pick, Weapon Specialization: Heavy Pick, Improved Critical: Heavy Pick, Power Critical: Heavy Pick, Large and In Charge. Equipment: Boots of Speed, +5 large Heavy Pick Surprise Roudn: Activate Boots of Speed (partial), cast True Strike (Haste Partial) Round 1: Partial Charge (Rage and then Power Lunge, Power Attack +12, Use Power Critical) (4d8+220 unless you somehow miss or fail to confirm the threat at +46); Full attack +24/+19/+14 for 1d8+37 per hit. Assuming the threat hits and confirms and two of the other attacks hit, that works out to: 331 points of damage. For a version that's more similar to the initial smackdown: Ftr 4/Bbn2/Dragon Disciple 10 Feats: Combat Reflexes, Two Weapon Fighting, Ambidexterity, Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Dwarven War Axe, Weapon Focus: Dwarven War Axe, Weapon Specialization: Dwarven War Axe, Improved Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Critical: Dwarven Waraxe, Large and In Charge. Str: 16 (initial)+4 (stat increases)+8 (Dragon Disciple)+8 (dragon disciple size increase)+6 (belt)+4(rage)=46 (+18 bonus) Dex: 15 initial (to enable him to qualify for ambidexterity)-2(dragon disciple size increase) +4 gloves=17 (+3 bonus) Equipment: One Large +5 Dwarven Waraxe of speed (2d8 damage), one medium +5 dwarven waraxe of speed (1d10) damage, belt of giant strength +6, Gloves of dexterity +4 Surprise Round Partial charge: Attack with the large dwarven waraxe at +38 for 2d8+25 (average 34 points of damage). Round 1: Full attack +34/+34/+34/+34/+29/+29/+24 4x (2d8+25) and 3x (1d10+17)=136+ 67.5 average=203.5 Total: 237.5 points of damage. Both of them deal out a ton of damage, and also quite significantly, Large and In Charge will make them almost impossible to close with. Rhino Hide armor, would naturally make either of these smackdowns better. An elemental burst weapon would really improve the first one as well. [/QUOTE]
