Question ref Shuriken damage...

[mtheurer]

Hi all

Just wanting some opinions to see if we're calculating shuriken damage right in the following circumstances...

Shuriken (base) = 1d4+DEX MOD

Shuriken + Rogue Weapon Talent = 1d6+DEX MOD

Shuriken + RWT + Sneak Attack = 3d6+DEX MOD

Shuriken + RWT + Blinding Barrage Sneak Attack = 4d6+DEX MOD

Shuriken + RWT + BBSA + Backstabber = 2d6+2d8+DEX MOD

Is this right? If not, where am I off?

thanks,

Mark

Shuriken + RWT +BBSA + Backstabber + Bugbear race = 4d8+DEX MOD.

Can I have fun with a Bugbear Rogue? Shuriken!

Ok:

Shuriken (1d4) > RWT (1d6) > Bugbear (1d8+DEX)

With combat advantage, 1/round:
Backstab (+2d6) > Backstabber Feat (+2d8) > Brutal Scoundrel +(2d8+STR)

With Combat Advantage, 1/enc:
Predatory Eye (Bugbear Racial Power, minor, +1d6)

=3d8+DEX mod+STR mod+1d6 1/enc

OR (using Blinding Barrage, 1/day)

4d8+DEX mod+STR mod, target is blinded.

***
OR, better still: instead of Backstabber, take Warrior of the Wild:

Bugbear w/ Shuriken (1d8+DEX)
Backstab and Brutal Scoundrel (+2d6+STR)
Predatory Eye, 1/enc (+1d6)
Hunter's Quarry, 1/enc (+1d6)

1d8+4d6+STR mod+DEX mod

This could be used with any Standard Action, incl. Blinding Barrage (+1d8, blinded, close blast 3), though that's only against one enemy; most in the blast will (only) receive 2d8+DEX). Sneaky goodness.
