The Fastest Character Ever

[I'm A Banana]

See, the thing is, except for charging, the character CAN stop on a dime (and there's a psychic feat that lets you change direction while charging, too)....and the rules take into account being in complete control of your speed at all times, pretty much. So this isn't 237 mph of a carreening schoolbus....this is 237 mph that can be reduced to 0 at the drop of a hat (or a wall of stone).....in order to use tactics like tripping or razor wire at neck hight, it involves a LOT of on-the-fly rules (probably related to falling...but still....)......Golly, I wonder how twisted this guys leg muscles would be....

Ick. I just thought of two rather sadistic uses of superspeed.

Supposing the speed demon has a passenger (especially unwilling) and after cranking up the speed, decides to slam on the brakes.

Scenario A: Speedster hangs onto the victim, at the least causing whiplash if not snapping the neck.
Scenario B: Speedster lets go of the victim, turning them into a large squishy projectile.

Large squishy projectile?

Sounds like the "Use Opponent as Missile" special ability from Clay-o-Rama!

-Hyp.

 

[I'm A Banana]

Any ideas for rules to govern that sort of thing?

You're familiar with Clayorama too? That needs to become a prerequisite for future moderators, I think.

Thankyou for this link!

Must get my gaming club to play this.

how about we drop the weapon focus feat, and give up Up the Walls instead. Zip at 200+ MPH, readied wall of stone, just go over it


Also remember, with 3.5 rules, a character going that fast would most likely just jump over the wall.

Wow... those are amazing speeds... and I thought the Centaur Monk with Horseshoes of speed was quite fast.

Also don't forget, the 3.0 version of Boots of Sprining and Striding DOUBLES your movement speed.
