[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 1172776, member: 1194"] Well, in the attempt to help hone this smack, I have some questions of clarification about this one. (Seldom do I see feedback on Smacks, and the poster just has to assume everything's fine with it, or fear no interest in it). Could you stat out how he's doing +218 damage? I see 1d12 + 62? (STR modifier?) + 16 full PA + 16 Reckless Attack, +? Power Lunge but whoa hold on - let me check a couple other things. (BTW: I don't know psionics very well, please anyone correct me where I miss some in this critique) * STR score: start with your 36 and add +8 size bonus from Righteous Might (a 9th level cleric spell that will have to be obtained/purchased somehow) + 4 Lion's Fury + 45 as you say from 90 power points? = 93 STR = [b]a +41 modifier[/b] * POwer Points: I see 7 from Psion 4, 60 from Metamind 8, 19 from STR, 1 from Inner Strength = 87 power points, but I'm probably wrong there. * Quickened Righteous Might and Divine Power are 8th and 9th level spells needed. * How are you manifesting a 4th level power? (Psychofeedback) * I feel it important to point out that this (and all Psychofeedback-based Smacks) are only one-shot Smacks. All it takes is one effect to stop this entire Smack. A readied Teleport or Dimension Door, a Contingency, or a Fortunate Fate. * Power Lunge will give up an AoO, unless the target doesn't have a Reach of 10'. * You are including a D20 source in Reckless Attack. It is an overpowered, and I'd guess an unaccepted feat to most games. I love using it. :D (It will make the AoO almost an auto-hit, though :( ) Back to the damage: I see 1d12 + 41 STR + 41 Power Lunge + 16 PA + 16 Reckless Attack = 1d12+114 (avg 120.5) Off-Hand: 1d12 + 72 (avg 78.5) Total damage = 1681 avg after tripling (edit + the haste attack : 1d12+63?)
