[QUOTE="Mortaneus, post: 191809, member: 485"] It's a feat from the Epic Level handbook. I think it requires 10d6 of sneak attack, among other things. I'm at work, where the copy of Dungeon unfortunately is not. It can fall to someone else to post the specs on it. Still, even without the feat, being able to do 77d6 of damage in a single round is a bit broken, especially considering that I'm not even including damage bonuses. Consider: 20th level Rogue. 2x Shortsword of Speed +3, Girdle of Giant Strength +6, Gloves of Dex +6, Weapon Finesse STR 14(avg for a decent rogue fighter) +6 = 20 (+5) DEX 20+6=26 (+8) If all seven swings (3 base, 2 offhand, 2 speed) connect, then you're talking 77d6+47 in one round, with a max of 507 points, and an average of 316 points. Let's compare this to a fighter of similar level: 20th level Fighter, 2x Shortsword of Speed +3, Girdle of Giant Strength +6, Gloves of Dex +6 STR 20+6=26 (+8) DEX 14+6=20 (+5) Damage per swing: 1d6+13 primary/1d6+9 offhand Let's say he power attacks for 6 points (giving a similar attack bonus to the rogue) that's 1d6+19/1d6+15 per swing. 8 swings a round = 8d6+140, for a max of 188, and an average of 168 points. Doesn't even compare. Even if you add in Greater two weapon fighting, that's 209 max, 186 avg. Heck, let's make it 10 fighter/10 tempest. It's still only 230 max, 205 avg. And that's assuming the fighter's 4th primary attack hits, which will (with the power attack) be lower than the rogue's third primary attack. (edited math) [/QUOTE]
