View Full Version : Check my math!

I'm looking at moving on to Scimitars with my Thrii-kreen in preparation for going into Dervish.

I'm hoping I can have a double check on my math for the attack bonuses I'm looking at.

I have:
BAB: +4
STR Mod: +5
Weapon Focus (scimitar)
Multi-weapon Fighting (Two weapon fighting for more than 2 hands)
4x Masterwork Scimitars

So unless I'm missing something...

It's +11 if I just attack with the one...

And +7/+7/+7/+7 if I attack with all four... and tag on a +5 if I use my natural bite attack afterward.

I feel like I've done this right, but I thought I'd ask you all first.

If you do recieve the same bonuses for using light weapons as normal TWF (I'm just looking at SRD, I'm assuming you do), then this should be correct.

+4+5+1+1 = +11.
-4 = +7.
*4 attacks = +7/+7/+7/+7.

Looks like your math is good.

Looks good, but I'd be very cautious about every -1. For a mere 1 point of damage lost per attack you could be wielding 4 kukris instead:

That'll be well worth the +2 to hit. Or if you can spare the weapon focus feat you may wield scimitars in your 2 main hands and kukris in your 2 off hands.

Also having that many weapons is generally a little less damaging than having one (or in your case two) strong weapons. Anything that can give a special effect per attack will shift the situation back into your favor. Examples include bonus damage, poison, spell storing weapons, tripping weapons (like kamas or flails), etc.

You only get one main hand, regardless of how many hands you have.

Although using kukris in your off hands is a good idea until you can make the scimitars light via Dervish.

Ah, ic, dervish fixes it. Well, it's still worth it to wield 4 kukris. Or a scimitar and 3 kukris is worth the +1 to hit (vs. weapon focus: scimitar). He could always delay the weapon focus feat until he becomes a dervish or a little before then.
