Sultans of Smack

[Victim]

Ah, a thri-keen smack. My brother and I often joked about a 2e thri-keen grandmaster using 4 weapons with the ambidexterity prof in C&T that could allow one to get a full number of attacks with secondary hands.

I always took Multiple Weapon Specialization and then specialized in the bite, mastered the claws.

I don't remember there being a proficiency in Combat and Tactics that allowed you to get full attacks with your off-hand weapon. Ambidexterity just reduced your off-hand weapon penalties.

 

[Victim]

Ambidexterity said that you fight as with 2 primary hands. The primary hand gets full attacks. Ergo, full attacks with both hands.

If you like Thri-kreen, here's another one I came up with while working on the previous one. (I'm assuming variations of this have been done before.)


"Jump Over the Moon? No Problem!"

(40+30+5+5+30+10)*2 [Boots of SS] = 240 Speed

Let's assume I roll a 20 for my jump skill check. My running jump horizontal distance is:

[5ft. (minimum) + 111 ft.]*[240/30]*7

or

6496 ft.



Notes:
1) Took Inner Strength to get 9 PPs for the third SoT.
2) I'm under the impression that Boots of SS and Expeditious Retreat do not stack, or else I'd give this character a wand and lots of Use Psionic Device.
3) I'm still having fun. *grin*

The sage capped Boots of SS at 100' move based on 50' being the highest non-magical speed for M sized creatures. In any case, boots only multiply base move and do not stack with any magical or SU speed enhancement.

Here's a 5th level wizard who can cast fly. Now his horizontal jump distance is 90 (fly) * 2 (double move) * 50 (minutes) * 10 (round) or 90,000 ft!

Is that in the FAQ?

(If that is the case, then I would buy some shards of jump +10, and a wand of expeditious retreat, then max out UPD. Different approach, same result.)

Here's a 5th level wizard who can cast fly. Now his horizontal jump distance is 90 (fly) * 2 (double move) * 50 (minutes) * 10 (round) or 90,000 ft!

Two things:

1) Flying horizontally is not the same as jumping horizontally, silly human.

2) Your character lacks style!

hafling?

How about a 4th level Rogue, Hafling, with a Half-Fiend Template?Ability scores are S 18, D 24, C 19, I 21, W 12, Ch 16. Hp 36. Feats are Combat Reflexes and Weapon Finesse- Dagger. Any cool smackdown ideas? Ideas for Feats, etc. as he advances?

 

[Viktyr Gehrig]

Ambidexterity said that you fight as with 2 primary hands. The primary hand gets full attacks. Ergo, full attacks with both hands.

Uhm... No.

That's not how the rules-as-written work, and there's an entire feat chain that requires Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting that, if this were the way the rule worked, would not make sense.

You also do not get two attacks on an attack action-- you need to make a full attack action with your off-hand, regardless of the Ambidexterity feat.

Korimyr the Rat----


Silly Korimyr, he was talking about 2e...

 

[reapersaurus]

I noticed a couple people here had used the Singh Rager effectively. Here is my take on it, using an ECL race:

"Don't Mess With This Bug!"

Good job.
I don't know what the Exotic weapon is, but it looks fun.

Your build is pretty close to the idea for my shield-Smacking Singh Rager that deals >2000 damage (with FCtF and ECL race : Knuk, a 4-armed cat-man)
