Quiz

So, you got three rapier attacks in a round. One from your base attack bonus, one AoO, and one from ?. Haste would be the common answer there, but you said no magic. A second AoO would be likely, but you said no Combat Reflexes. Cleave was a possibilty, but you said you were facing only a single opponent. I'd thought about improved trip, but you can't trip with a rapier, and you said all three attacks were sneak attacks, which means no trip attack. Short of some feat that I don't know about that gives you the flurry ability, I suspect a rules error.

I did not say no combat reflexes, I said I caused the AoO, my opponent did not provoke it.

This is supposed to be fun. If its not, Im sorry and Ill just give the answer and quit. Im not trying to be superior or smug or anything. The intent is for whoever figures it out to come up with their own question and try and stump everyone. Its 1005 my time, If no one has got it by 1230, Ill give away the answer.

It could be fun, but so far you've nixed all the valid answers after they were given. THAT is not fun. When someone thinks of a solution to a problem and provides it, don't change the problem afterwards.

With your latest change, I don't see how it's possible. If your opponent does not provoke an AoO, then you don't get any more attacks. Whether you provoke one or not is irrelevant, from whatever sourcebooks I can recall.

You said Combat Reflexes wouldn't work, because you were facing only one opponent.

It was not a ranged weapon either and I was facing only one opponent so combat reflexes wont work.

I took that to mean that you didn't use Combat Reflexes to gain multiple AoOs.

In other words, a quiz along the lines of "How does a 4th level human rogue with a single (not double) weapon get 3 sneak attacks in a single round against a single opponent who doesn't move? I'll provide my method later/tomorrow/after a handful of responses."

That way, if someone thinks of a method that you didn't, they are not wrong. So far, you're changing the parameters to make everyone else wrong and only your method right. That's not fair and what makes it not fun.

For the next quiz, keep this in mind and it will be more fun for us.

Post #14 contains the only official rules. Anything else is just a hint, like saying I caused the AoO and my opponent did not provoke it. It is possible to create yor own AoO.

Good point Icy. Youre absolutely right. I did not use combat reflexes.

I apologize Infinity, you're right, I should have phrased it better initially.

Which means you only get to take a single AoO per round, regardless of how many your opponent provokes (or you create). So things like Karmic strike or Close Quarters fighting don't give you any more attacks after you've taken your one AoO for the round.

So:
1 attack from BAB
1 attack from an AoO
1 attack from something else (not BAB and not AoO)

My guess is that you got your third attack from a rules error. I may be wrong, but that is my guess. I'll find out after you've posted your answer I guess.

A WoW Rogue with Opportunist and Karmic Strike.

Hmm... no, those are both AoO.

There's probably some feat, that let's you do an extra attack somehow. There are like ten million feats out there, after all.

Bye

Two-weapon fighting. Switching the rapier from hand to hand is a free action, so you can take a -2 penalty on both attacks, but attack with the same weapon twice.

And then the AoO.
