1,067,212 attacks in a single action

[EjoThims]

941,488 attacks now.

That's a little over 4x Chuck's single full round attack number.

Now to beat his turn number.

One more doubling and we do it.

I was actually trying to use Ettin and Giant Squid for 24 tentacles and a mouthpick, but there was this annoying size restriction. Then I saw the type line...

Also, Chuck's full round is over 2 million, so we need a doubling and another 50,000 or so attacks, or about 57 offhand progressions. So another six legs.

New optimisation challenge: How many legs can we have on one creature?

Well a base doubling actually turns into a quadrupling for off-hand attacks, so one more base doubling might actually do it... 216 main hand attacks... yeah you can see where this is going

[EjoThims]

And remember, we've still got 4 feats to shuffle, and BAB doesn't matter any more.

Plus, with the doubling to quadrupling to off-hands, if we found another, we could probably even stand to lose Shou/Chaos Monk (which would bring us back to a full attack action instead of a full round action) and still be in the mid 3 million range.

Still,

IT'S OVER NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND!!!!!

On a more serious note, how many more class abilities can we steal with Illithid Savant? There are a couple of abilities that would give you an extra attack on a full attack, which converts to about eight thousand to the total per attack. It's not the doubling we're after, but it helps.

None right now. If we squeeze 4 more levels on, we can grab another ability and a third after all 10 IS levels.... Unless the feature doubles the number of attacks, I don't think it's worth it though, as we'd be giving something up (possibly shou disciple which hurts for only +8K)

[EjoThims]

2 more, but each requires 3 more levels. Chaos/Shou nets us +4 base attacks for 6 levels, so if you can beat that...

Hrm... And we've still got a Fighter level... Is there maybe a Binder vestige that would give us more attacks for a level?

[Callix]

Never mind. Found something else:

Fearsome Grapple (SC) - Sorc/Wiz 2, at CL 9+ it gives you four tentacles to grapple with. Ring of Spell Storing anyone?

[EjoThims]

Niced... That's 3456 more...

And it's amazing when that doesn't seem like all that many.

 

[EjoThims]

But, the Ring of Spell Storing is at minimum level to cast the spell, how do we get it up to 9th level for the 4 tentacles?

[Heliomance]

One question though: How much damage does this thing put out per attack? Because DR 15 would probably make you completely immune to it.

We have a UMD check of +19
We have a cohort making us custom staves.

Why do we worry about CL 9 and Rings of Spell Storing?

@Heliomance: Pretty much. Palm Throw removes the Str bonus, so it's basically 1d4 damage.

DR 15/what?
Because Shadow Striking Crescent Knives (ability from Tome of Magic) will cover any DR short of DR 15/--

Well YOU said Ring... Staff would work too...

And we could always shuffle a feat into brutal throw is we actually cared about damage... Or use some other magic buff or some such, as After suggests.

[Ubernoob]

IIRC an attack that hits can never be reduced below 1 damage.  Assuming an unhittable AC and 1 damage per hit, we do about 50k damage per round.

[Heliomance]

DR circumvents that. You don't do enough damage to overcome DR, you don't even tickle the thing.

[bayar]

"If you dont do enough attacks, just get more tentacles" should be a good expression 

[BowenSilverclaw]

When in doubt, add more tentacles

Mmh, anyone have a name/nickname for this thing yet except for the obvious "Ctulhumon, Bane of Japanese Schoolgirls" or something similar?

[Heliomance]

It needs a level of Ranger in there somewhere. Just so that it can have Favoured Enemy: Japanese Schoolgirl.

*Looks up Japanese word for "tentacle"*

Arise, Dai Shokushu-kan!
