What's the best Killer Combo you've found or seen?

[Ravensblood]

I'm trying to figure out what the best and worst killer combos in the game are. I play with some power gamers and I want to decide if anything is too powerful or cheap before it happens. I've seen posts about mystic theurges, and warlocks with darkness spells, what else have you seen or experienced? I'll leave this open ended so any examples or ideas are welcome.

There was a thread a few weeks ago... this guy had decided that a Ninja/Dread Pirate was the best combo ever. The thread degenerated quickly into absurdity. It wasn't a "good" combo, but my lord it was a funny thread. I kinda felt bad for the original poster, and hope he didn't take it too hard.

I'll see if I can't find it...


Here it is. Enjoy the absurdity.

"Whirling Frenzy" Rage Variant + 2 handed Power Attack + Haste

 

[Sandain]

Hulking Hurlers
Anthropomorphic African Elephants
Divine Metamagic + Persistant spell
Favoured Souls

In fact, avoid anything thats not in the Players or DMG and you will be fine. There is definite power creep going on with the latest books.

Favoured Souls suck beyond all belief. TWO STAT CASTING PEOPLE!

Divine Metamagic+RSoP+quickened or persistent holy sword

A litterally "killer" combo:

Rogue 5/Assassin 8+
Stats: Highest Int and Str possible
Feats: Power Attack, Arcane Strike, Ability Focus (Death Attack)

Apply poison to your favorite 2 handed blade (I prefer the Bastard Sword, stored in a Glove of Storing). Hide in Plain Sight behind your target for three rounds, casting True Strike somewhere along the line. Then full attack using full PA, sneak attack, arcane strike, and forcing saves against both Death Attack and poison. Even if the target survives the Death Attack (easily a DC of 25), it will be hurting quite a bit from the damage and poison.

Larege or larger high-strength race + Warhulk + Exotic Weapon Master (just 1 level) + Bastard Sword + Spring Attack

Here's one of my favorites:

Cleric 4/Human Paragon 3/Prestige Paladin 3/Fist of Raziel 10

Has +18 BAB, casts spells as a 17th-level cleric, gets a permanent magic circle against evil and has lots of nice effects when he smites evil.
