Smack the monk

[Ferret]

How many attacks can you get?
(Note: I have made a Prc for Ex Bartbs that lets you add your wis mod to BAB vor the purpose of determining APR)

Ex-Barb1/monk9/FotSC10 add haste, has 40 wis(Heard it somewhere in another Smack down thread)+ 4 for Ki burst, a Wis mod of 22 I think.12 attacks at 10.5 avg Phew!

According to the rules you can only have four attacks/full attack action regardless of BAB. This is even true for gods (Deities & Demigods) and epic-level characters. The only exception is the monk who can get five attacks/full attack if his UBAB is high enough.

[Smartass] Well, I have made a PrC which allows Monks to add their weight to their number of attacks per round. So if my monk5/Prc5 weight 150 pounds, he gets 153 attacks at 10th level... [/Smartass]

Sorry, but home-brew prestige classes don't apply to smackdowns.

Not to mention, as gfunk said, no matter how high it is, you can never have more than 4 attacks per round (5 for monks) from your BAB.

[Edit] IIRC, the highest number of attacks that you could legally have per round is 10. This is a 16th level or higher Barbarian5/Frenzied Berserker1/Tempest10. They would have 4 normal attacks, 1 extra from Frenzy (which doesn't stack with the extra attack from Haste), 4 extra from dual-wielding, and 1 more from a weapon enchanted with the Speed property.

How many attacks can you get?

So, the answer is 6, 5 from a high level monk amd one for haste.

Atleast we didn't waste board space!

Eh, not worried about that. With the amount of threads on all the boards, this one little one is insignificant. Well, it was before but is even more so now.

 

[James McMurray]

actually, you can tag at least one more onto that with Righteous Wrath of the Faithful from DotF.

 

[Victim]

Lightning Fists would give another 2 attacks.

 

[James McMurray]

So we've gone from 6 as an absolute limit to 9. Maybe it isn't such a a waste of space?

I'm not sure about stacking, but if he had a couple levels of psychic warrior (or an item) he could use Hustle to get another partial action, and hence a 10th attack.

Couldn't a monk use his UBAB with a quarterstaff as a monk weapon and then use it as a double weapon to get even more attacks? (imp 2 weapon/greater 2 weapon) to potentially get 9?

Or am I wrong (don't have the books handy)?
