Sultans of Smack

[Corlon]

WAIT, I'm determined to make a smack that works!

mini creatures kill you smack
Druid7/Tamer of Beasts 9
ussuming that a cockroach has 1/8 HD, and since paragon doesn't affect the HD, this character could have...256 paragon cockroaches, these are about 16HP, +20 attack, 20 damage, I think. And since these creatures are fine, you can fit A BUNCH in a square, and if they all hit, this is a great deal more than 200 damage.

I know this isn't very exact, but you guys can figure this out

And for the problems: I don't have the epic handbook, and I've only seen it twice soo.. if I've missed something on paragon please tell me.
A few arguments I've heard is that...
Paragon creatures are magical: Well, level 9 tamer of beasts can tame magical creatures
There in only ONE paragon animal of each type: In this case, One paragon cockroach, grasshopper, cricket, black ant, red ant, fire ant, honey bee, killer bee, monkey, chicken, bat, rat, etc.

Any problems with this one, besides the fact that you couldn't find this many paragons, theres bound to be some

A Paragon insect would be a sentient, free-willed creature. Would the spell allow you to control treants or thri-kreen?

Strength...Fading, Health...Falling SMACK
Rouge 16
Feats:
Hair Trigger Reflexes
Rapid Shot
Brew Poison
Quicker Than the Eye
Skill Focus (or craft poison)
Skills: Alchemy (or craft poison)
Items: Bow, Arrows (preferably magical) that are previously posioned
Boots of Speed
Anything that ups Alchemy Checks (or craft poison checks)
Poison wells
Surprise Round: Activate boots of speed, drink potion of true strike
1st Round: Hair Trigger Reflexes to go first, shoot with rapid shot.
2nd Round: If they aren't hurt enough, use quicker than the eye, and repeat.

This poison does 3d6 of two ability scores (decide which, for this, its strength and con.) with a Save DC of 40, if you want to know how I did this, check Traps and Treachery, wait jusa sec while I calculate the DC to make it ....
its... 60, okay, so how about 3d6 con both times, that mkaes it 45, hmm, a bit hard, dang...
Save DC=...

okay, lets start over (I don't believe in backspace)
Save DC=30, initial damage=unconsciousnes
This would require a DC of 35, pretty easy.
Once they are unconscious, then use slit their throat
I haven't calculated the exact + to the ability a rouge could have (as you can probably see) so add to the DC as you so choose

Edit: throat, not sloat

Total level 12

Here is a sort of Smackdown I came up with while looking into some of the Mind's Eye
Psionic Web Enhancements found on the WotC D&D site.

While this smack doesn't live up to the 200 points of damage in one round, it does
do between 635 to 1397 points of damage in 4 rounds (Maximum 2286) at the character's
12th Level. After those 4 rounds the damage (if not stopped) has the duration for 11
minutes doing between 302 to 704 points of damage a round (Maximum 1152). Basically
The Psion/Constructor summons as many beefed up Astral Constructs a round as possible.

What do you think?

 

[Jeremy]

That is very creative and VERY effective.

I was going to say, at 12th level, what's the point of having AC 1's... They aren't going to last long in melee, they aren't likely to hit, and they won't do a lot of damage.

But you are using them more like Lantern Archons, flying around out of melee reach and 3d6 concussion'ing away. Very nice.

Kudos!

Re: Re: Re: and another that might have been posted

These smackdowns aren't very maximized lately...

Carpe! Where are you?

Ya, these last couple months' entries have been ....... less than stellar, IMO.

 

[Corlon]

heheh

I just have to post this
Shocker Lizard Smack
You could do this with a tamer of beasts but...

Get a bunch (and I mean a BUNCH) of shocker lizards in one spot, and have a 16th level wizard cast teleport without error on them to the middle of a big clump of enemies and... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, a lv 7 druid/lv 9 TOB could have 16 shocker lizards, not a whole bunch

A Paragon insect would be a sentient, free-willed creature

this would give them a will save, nothing more

 

[Xeriar]

Re: heheh

this would give them a will save, nothing more

At a minimum of +20 or so, sure.

 

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

You can create up to 60 Astral Construct Vs per round with a shaper 6/constructor 10. 90 if you use a munchkin loophole. I don't need any astral construct 1s.

Apply Overpower to the number of constructs you can create

smackdowns

For the tidy cleric who doesn't like leave a mess of his enemies

-destruction domain
-spell focus (evocation for implosion, transmutation for disentigrate)
-greater spell focus

13 levels of cleric, 5 levels of heirophant
wis 22 (18 + level enhancements)

take spell power for all heirphant levels.
cast a maximized wisdom enhancer on yourself (owl's I think)

then nail em with disentigrate DC 29 then you add in magic gear.


And for the fighter who wants his oponent unarmed and on his ass

power attack, cleave, sunder, improved sunder, expertise, imprved trip and knockdown.

Sunder thier weaponwhich provkes a cleave onto then which provoces knockdown. They are unarmed, hurt and on thier ass in 1 attack.
