[QUOTE="Archer, post: 598100, member: 2950"] That naga smack is a little hard to follow for me. I don't follow the str x3 and damage x3 on the first attack. I see str x2 for power lunge or mantis leap and damage x2 for flying kick. Potions of true strike aren't a valid item. Constriction lets you deal 1.5x str damage instead of just normal strength damage on a grapple check, not do double damage on grapple attacks. What is the justification for falling damage? The smack works on evil medium sized creatures without reach weapons with no allies, a bit of a stretch even for a smack. The bracers of sure striking aren't adding anything to the smack and neither is the ring of jumping or the striding and springing. You are using bands and bracers?. I see the initial attack damage as 112 avg. and each follow up as 4d8 + 24. You forget the -2 to hit for size and the amulet and gloves don't stack. Mantis Leap and Power Lunge are redundant as are flying kick feat and flying kick from tiger's leap sandals but naga don't have feet. Creatures without legs seem like they wouldn't be able to use the jump skill at all, much like creatures without hands can't pick locks. A non smack character could kill the naga before she ran through the 4-action warm up of activating haste, righteous might, shocking grasp and rage. I have to agree that Rokugani Constrictor and other AEG naga are light on the ECL. The OA Constrictor has an ECL of 12 or so and it has a move of 20 instead of 40. [/QUOTE]
