[QUOTE="bret, post: 95627, member: 713"] I think this one is a little strange, but I like the imagery. Dwarven dragon of death Barbarian 2 / Fighter 4 / Rogue 3 / Sorc 2 / Dragon Disciple 5 BAB +12. Take the fighter levels after the 5 levels of Dragon Disciple. You are a dwarf, so there is no XP penalty. Feats: Ambidexterous, Two Weapon Fighting, Improved Two Weapon Fighting Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization and Improved Critical: Dwarven Waraxe Improved Initiative (so we can get a surprise round) 2 feats left, probably use them for Power Attack and Cleave so that the character has a better chance to actually use all their attacks. ;) Items important to the smackdown: +6 Belt of strength Two Dwarven Waraxes +5 of speed (effective +9 weapon) Str 18 + 4 leveling + 4 Dragon Disciple +6 Item +4 rage = 36 Since you are size large from the Dragon Disciple, you can wield the Dwarven Waraxe as a light one handed martial weapon. Since they are weapons of speed, you get an additional attack with each hand. Being size large also gives you reach, which I'm not taking advantage of at the moment. In the surprise round, you charge up to within 10' of your opponent, taking your attack. Doesn't do the required 200 hp damage, bummer. Next round you get your 7 attacks (3 primary, 2 secondary +1 primary from speed, +1 secondary from speed) Each attack does: d10 + 13 (str) +2 (ws) + 5 (weapon) + 2d6 (sneak attack) = d10 + 20 + 2d6, average of 32 damage 32 * 7 = 224, just enough to qualify. Without surprise, we are only doing an average of 25 damage a hit. Only 175 damage, not quite enough to qualify. The thing is, I'm sure this can be improved on. I'm only using PHB and Tome & Blood. Don't have a copy of any of the other class splatbooks. I thought about taking SpellSword in there so the character could wear armor while doing this. Makes more sense, but the 3 levels of rogue gave me more damage in a surprise round. For those who want it, I get the following attack bonus: 12 BAB +13 Str +5 Weapon -2 TWF = 28 Attacks would be at: +28 / +28 / +23 / +18 primary +28 / +28 / +23 secondary Anyone have some suggestions on how to improve on this?
