[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5648515, member: 56189"] I want to also point out something about this particular combination. It occurred to me whilst I was making a character for a game where I had mistakenly read that I was allowed a 3rd-level magical item and a 2nd-level magical item and we were to make 2nd-level characters. It turned out that the 2nd-level item was my misread because I was half asleep at the time of reading (and half asleep during the character creation). Now, although I had already thought that the concept of a half-orc with the Gritty Sergeant background and Mercenary theme would make for a cool thief character, I hadn't actually made one up until this point. From making it up from scratch, choosing the two magical items, and determining that combo above, took all of ten minutes for me. I'd never heard of Bracers of Mighty Striking or the Quick Weapon before this, so I found them simply by using the Character Builder search engine and limiting my choices to 3rd-level. So all this talk of being 'hardcore' and taking 'hours' and somehow being a character building genius is nonsense. If I can do it in ten minutes, whilst on the verge of collapsing from sheer exhaustion and bone-weary tiredness, why can't anyone else? I assure you, I'm not a genius. [/QUOTE]
