She could deal 1,700 points of damage in a single round. Unarmed, that is and her hands counted as +3 weapons...*smile*I have very fond memories playing her in a low-combat campaign - the DM tried to break her vow of celibacy every single gaming session - *ROTF* but this kind of character is exactly the reason why we play 3rd Edition now - or, to be precisely, 3.5.2nd Edition was great - yet it was not the penultimate. As game material being published became more and more inconsistent with older game material, loopholes in the rules tended to arise. After 11 years of dutiful service, we were all as glad to retire 2nd Edition as we were playing the rules...However, I must confess that I miss the concept "Kits" of 2nd Edition - I hope 4th Edition has them, when we get it in 2-5 years... If I had to choose between Kits and Prestige Classes I would opt for Kits...Also, it was a bit strange at first with the new rule. Every DM who instantly recognizes the following string will probably agree: "1d4+4/1d4+4/2d6"BTW, my players were grateful for the hosing of some spells from 3.0 to 3.5 since usually the enemies were putting them to best use ;-)))</blockquote>
