here's a good one...

Figure a 250 to 300 lbs character, whirled over his head to 80 RPM !!??

210, actually... I was a lightweight.

No, it's a feat in The Complete Death Knight. Prerequisites are "You're a Death Knight", EWP: Spiked Chain, Improved Trip, and Str 30+.

lol. He does fulfill all the requirements...

It is cinematic to allow the NPC to do those moves. It is not cinematic to have it result in instantaneous death for the PC without rolling out the damage. Quite the opposite.

He actually did tally up the damage afterwards.. came out to something like 840 points. And yes, the pillar did collapse, bringing a good part of the roof with it.

But for fun, 80 rpm, 12 seconds.
Implies that using stupid math that ignores the rather massive acceleration that must occur, he's spinning you around roughly 8 times in a round (as a sidenote, since you would be moving through his threatened area, you'd provoke roughly 128 Attacks of Opportunity (to that Death Knight ALONE) on the last round before flingage. I imagine that the Bard would get in on some of that action too.

Don't forget, though, that a spiked chain is a reach weapon - he was whirling me around about 7-9 feet away, out of his reach. No AoOs - I doubt the DM would have been THAT cruel anyway...

Dude, you have got to put some more ranks in that Sense Motive skill! How else will you know when Hypersmurf is, as in this case ... wait for it ... wait for it ... jerking your spiked chain. Ba-da-bing!

Well, considering some of the other feats out there, it didn't seem impossible. Still, you're right. Need to put more ranks in the ol' Sense Motive.
