[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 396501, member: 6738"] Just for fun, I've done a smack for a character that is blind, deaf, dumb, paralyzed, and on the other side of a 50' stone barrier. (Pay no attention to the fact that said character is a Psion 20 . . .) Powers: Summon Astral Construct 9, Remote View, Temporal Velocity Skills: Remote Viewing +30 (If your GM uses the 1= -10 rule), or Remote Viewing +19 if they use 1= miss or 1=1. Abilities: Int 19+, Dex 36 (for the Power Points), Wis 13+ Items: Torc of Psionic Might, HUGE supply of dull grey ioun stones. Tactics: Manifest Remote Viewing to actually SEE where you are going to perform the smack, this is DC 20 (you have no knowledge of the creature, connection is you know where they are). If the creatures are within 25' of the other side of the wall, proceed to next step: manifest Temporal Velocity. Now, manifest Astral Construct 9 every round that you can. This should yield 7.5 astral constructs, on average. Repeat this EVERY ROUND, using the Torc and an Ioun Stone for every manifestation. Now, let's see if I made the 200 damage minimum on round 1 . . . Okay, so the constructs have 3 menu C abilities. Give it Gore (so it has a +40 melee, 1d8 +19 attack in addition to other atks), Concussion (extra 3d6 damage /round/construct), Charge ability from Menu B, and Additional Attack and Sprint. So, on the first round, you have the 7 to 8 constructs doing the following: Running 1000 feet twords your opponent, Making a 2 gores at +38 / +38, and Slams at +25/+20/+15. Since this is a Smack, lets assume all the attacks except for the lowest slam hit, and 1/2 of the lowest slams hit. Thats 15 gores and 18.75 slams. (15x23.5) + (18.75x26) = . . . drumroll please . . .840 damage! YES! Beat the minimum! Whoops! Forgot the concussions! Since the target is so high level, lets assume they make every save. That would be an extra .5(3.5x7.5) damage, or an extra 13.125. Not such a big diff. Oh well. And now, lets add Boots of Speed. This lets you use the Start Full Round Action 7.5 times, sommoning another construct each time, for an extra 3.75 constructs. Give each construct past the 8th Cone of Sound, Extra Buff, and Superheavy Armor, since they won't be able to get close enough to a 5'x5' opponent to attack. And then all the constructs do their 853.125 damage again next round, plus the [i]other[/i] 7.5 constructs that you sommoned use their Cones of Sound! [b][size=4]SERIOUS SMACK TIME![/size][/b] [b]Psion:[/b] Darn, I'm blind, deaf, dumb, paralyzed, and civilization is behind a 50' stone wall. This sucks. I think I'll use Remote viewing to look around outside. ~Pause~ [b]Psion:[/b] Hey, there's a Very Old Red Dragon 20 feet away! *activates boots, summons 11 Astral construct 9s* [b]Red Dragon:[/b] Hum hum just having a stroll through the park next to a big stone wall, hum hum . . .
