TWFing is now useful

[Prime32]

Aberrant Limbs+Deformity (Tall), I think. Or was that Deformity (limbs), or the like?

Abberant Limbs is a template which gives you exta appendages

You're thinking of Aberrant Reach (requires Aberration Blood or Mourning Mutate) and Deformity [Tall] (requires Willing Deformity)

[Amechra]

Ah yes, Aberrant Reach. I seem to remember that there was a way to get 50'+ reach through feats and such.

Jack B Quick was fun to build, and I've always been sort of proud of him, but let's be honest: he's outdated, and in any case, was never meant to be as efficient as possible.  I just wanted to build a cool 20th level fighter.

I'd love to see other people really take the basic concept and redline its efficiency--the idea of using Robliar's Gambit and Karmic Strike in conjunction with Stormguard Warrior is just cool.

I'd also like to see a build that incorporates the "massive retaliatory AoOs" engine with alternate class features like Overpowering Attack or Decisive Strike.

I wonder what can be done if you throw this and this in, assuming they're for the most part, compatible.

That's better done with a TWFing flanker and a Savvy Rogue Opportunist.

[Eviltedzies]

I completely forgot about overpowering attack.    Well Warblade 18/Fighter 2 could easily incorperate Overpowering Attack into it's setup. Since Warblade qualifies for fighter feats at its warblade level -2. I shutter to think what it would be like when combined with Stormguard Warrior.

[Amechra]

I'm thinking a strong build would be something like-a so:

Human Warblade 20. Stays in Wolf Pack Tactics and Press the Advantage at all times, and takes ranks in Iajatsu Focus and Tumble. Tumble means that he can double his 5-foot steps to 10-ft steps, Press the Advantage gives you an extra 5 foot step whenever you take a 5 foot step, and Wolf Pack Tactics lets you, at your option, take a 5 foot step after a successful attack.

Your weapons? Two Crescent Knives, and the feat Mercurial Strike.

Anyone who gives you any reason to take an AoO against him gets smacked 4 times, each with Iajatsu damage. You can then move 20 ft.

I would only grab Snap Kick if natural attacks count as Unarmed Strikes for the purpose of the extra attack. Because then I could get 2 more attacks in, due to that power that turns a weapon into a Natural attack.

If you wanted even more cheese, dual wield a pair of Possibility Swords. 40 attacks on a single AoO? Don't mind if I do...

[Eviltedzies]

Just a note, Iaijutsu Focus is not a class skill for Warblades. As such your damage potential will be smaller than someone with it as a class skill.

Secondly, Iaijutsu Strikes require you to draw a weapon and attack. Even with Mercurial Strike you would need to carry 4 crescent knives in order to gain 4 Iajutsu strikes. In addition you would have to drop each crescent knife after you use it in order to use Mercurial Strike again. (Since once you've drawn one crescent knive you are no longer "unarmed" and thus not allowed to make use of Mercurial Strike.)

[bearsarebrown]

You would need a Gnomish Quickrazor to pull that off. Why Crescent Knives?

And that's a neat trick but by level 20 its woefully underpowered.

[Amechra]

Crescent Knives give two attacks. I was going off description here, not rule text.

Tell me, though, would using a Possibility Sword or two work? All the attacks are simultaneous, after all...

[Eviltedzies]

Iajutsu Striking only works on the first strike made with a weapon. Even if that weapon can hit multiple times in a single attack action, only the first strike would apply the Iajutsu damage.

I'm pretty sure an avanc is above your standard EL though.

That's not what the text says.

[Eviltedzies]

That's not what the text says.

"If you attack a flat-footed opponent immediately after drawing a melee weapon, you can deal extra damage, based on the result of an Iajutsu Focus check."

I'll admit the wording is could be construed as vague. But the act of "drawing a weapon" clearly implies that in order to deal the damage you must draw a weapon. I cannot see any sane DM allowing someone to draw a single weapon and Iajutsu strike every attack in a full attack.

[Mixster]

You could just have quick draw and a lot of shurikens. Draw a shuriken, stab with your sword, draw a new shuriken, stab him again.

Props for finding something you can draw with your feet.

Or building a character who paints weapons before he attacks.

[Rebel7284]

Lmao

[Eviltedzies]

Well you have Boot/Elbow/Knee/Sleeve blades available from complete scoundral. The only downside is they each take a move action to spring. Otherwise it fullfills the sneaky Iajutsu stabber motiff very nicely.

[Amechra]

Yeh, yeh, but it would work; after all, the attacks ARE simultaneous, due to it being the sword's probability warping effect that activates on a swing.

Two ways around this.

1. Quick Draw, attack, drop as free, repeat.
2. Gnomish Quickrazor-sheathe as free after each attack, draw as free with Quick Draw.

4. Telekinesis your melee weapons out of your sheaths (drawing them) and attack with them.
