Hello everyone, I've recently started a mercenary type campaign and one of my players wants to play a ranger using a Duom.
The build she is aiming for is:
Lvl 1 - Exotic wpn prof: Duom, and something else I don't remember...
Lvl 2 - Two Weapon Fighting (ranger bonus feat)
Lvl 3 - Haft Strike (from a Dragon magazine I think); which allows the wielder to make off-hand attacks with the polearm butt (1d6+STR)
Lvl 6 - Improved Two Weapon Fighting
Now for those who don't know what the Duom does, it's a reach weapon but it has 2 blades along the haft to allow the wielder to attack adjacent enemies as well.
She came up with the build with her boyfriend who is also a player and they think that at lvl 6 they can get 6 attacks with this weapon, 2 with the main spear blade, 2 off-hand attacks with the butt and 2 with the reverse blades.
Any thoughts about this? I'm finding it overpowered, although the reverse blades attack are at -2.
