The Inquisitor - Half Orc Ranger|Cleric/Divine Oracle/Eternal Seeker

[GPuzzle]

Disregard the Cleric part, this one is basically a Ranger.

Basically, picks up Drow Long Knifes and turns it into a god-killing pair of scissor-blades.

O_O ....

BTW, drow long knife? First time I hear of this thingy.

[Epinephrine]

You may need to explain this, I'm not following. You seem to be spending multiple action points, but I'm not sure how, as the main way I can think of to do that is Warmaster's 30th level feature. Also, your gear exceeds WBL.

It's somewhere in Eberron Player's Guide, I believe. Basically a dagger, but with a small bump in damage. Also, it is a heavy blade instead of a light blade.

Crown of Victory allows you to use 2, and Charm of Abundant Action allows for another use.

Crown of Victory allows you to use 2, and Charm of Abundant Action allows for another use.

Thanks, it looks like the order might matter, and that you might need a sympathetic DM to manage it. The Crown of Victory lets you spend 2 action points in an encounter, which you'll already have spent according to that Nova (you're spending a third, which it doesn't allow), and the charm of abundant action lets you spend one even if you've already spent one (not if you've already spent two), and specifically refers to this extra action point as a second action point. Makes it sound like both independently allow a second, but that they don't allow for a third.

Weird, I might have to check that again.

Anyway, this, surprisingly enough, ISN'T my highest-damaging nova.

I managed to pull one that did 2802 damage, with a Half-Orc Bard/Divine Oracle/Eternal Seeker multiclassing Cleric, Barbarian, Ranger and Monk, dual-wielding Bastard Swords, spamming Sohei and Nonchalant Collapse like this build does, recharging stuff like crazy. It was pretty cool. The most interesting part is the double tap it gets with Greater Echoing Weapon and Nonchalant Collapse on the last Action Point, since I had an extra minor, for another 69 damage on an attack that already dealt 87 damage.

Also, I'm STRONGLY considering making a half-Warlord build. Possibly a Ranger.
