Just because I canHuman Fighter2/Assassin1/Rogue7S 26 (18 base +1 level up +3 Bull's Strength +4 Righteous Might)Dex 11Ch 18Skills: Use Magic Device 10 ranks +18 (+10 ranks +4 Cha +4 synergy), Spellcraft 5 ranks, Dechipher Script 5 ranksFeats: Improved Initiative, Lightning Initiative(QF), Combat Reflexes, Expert Tactician, Power Attack, Reckless Attack(QF), Weapon Focus (Greataxe),Magic Items: (Potions) Bull's Strength, Haste, Divine Favor (Brewed at 12th level)(Divine Scrolls) Divine power (cast at 10th level), Righteous Might(Sorceror Scrolls) Improved Invisibility, Greater Magic Weapon (cast at 9th level)Drink all potions & cast all scrolls on self, except Scroll of GMW; that goes on your Greataxe.NOTE:  This smackdown assumes that time is not of the essence, and is best used from an ambush position.Surprise Round: Sneak Attack with bonus partial action from Expert tactician.  Sneak attack with surprise round partial action.  Sneak Attack with bonus partial action from Haste.  3 attacks +15/+15/+15Round 1: Your Initiative mod is +8 and you're still invisible, so your foe is almost guaranteed to still be denied his Dex bonus.  Time for more Sneak Attacks.  Pull out 2 with the full attack option, and another one each from Expert tactician and Haste, for a total of 4.  4 attacks: +15/+15/+15/+10You have some pretty hefty damage bonuses going on here+12 (strength *1.5)+10 (Power Attack)+10 (Reckless Attack)+4 luck bonus (Divine Favor)+3 Enhancement bonus (Greater Magic Weapon)So with each attack, you're dealing 2d8+5d6+39.  That's an average of 65.5 points of damage per hit, not counting crits.In the surprise round, you deal 196.5 points of damage.  In round 1 you deal 262 points of damage, which qualifies this as a smackdown.  Total damage in 1 round + surprise round: 458.5, not counting criticals.That's a viable 10th level character made with a 32 point buy method with less than 5k in magic items and equipment (total is 4650 IIRC).  So, anybody want to let me play in their campaign?NOTE: If you don't like the evil alignment, feel free to substitute any other PrC that grants Sneak Attack +1d6 at 1st level for the level in Assassin.</blockquote>
