    Default Throwing one of every die size? [3.5]

    Just for the hell of it, I've been wondering if it's possible to throw every size of die up to a d20 simultaneously on an action. The best I can do is a Longsword and dagger dual-wield with sneak attack damage, including the attack roll, but that's only a d4, d6, d8 and d20. Theoretically, how many more different sized dice could be thrown into that?

    Yes. Look at weapon enchantments and multiweapon fighting.

    The real question is...who can get the largest number of every size of die?

    Multiweapon fighting is kind of cheating though. I mean sure, you can hold one of every weapon, but dragging out an obscure ability to get that +1d4 on your Greataxe is more interesting.

    You could play a Thri-Keen(sp?), swing a +1 flaming greataxe, a longsword, and a +1 icy burst falchion while monkey gripping, score a critical hit with the falchion, and do all of this vs. a target with a miss chance. This should allow you to roll a d20, a d12, a d10, 2d6, a d8, 2d4, and a d%.

    Critical with a Shocking Burst Screaming Berserker Greataxe while Raging. D20 from attack roll, d12 from Axe, d10 from burst, d8 from berserker, d6 from shocking, d4 from Sonic.

    Make one or both of your weapons spell storing, and put Frostburn or another d12 spell in one, and maybe a d8 spell like Inflict X Wounds in the other. Now make the longsword a Bastard Sword and you're throwing d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20.

    One Weapon, One attack.

    Greataxe (1d12) + Berserker enhancement (+1d8 while raging) + Human Bane(+2d6 to humans) + Psychokinetic (+1d4 damage) + Fiercebane (+2d10 damage on a crit)

    Requires a bit of luck, but:
    d20 (attack roll, crit confirmation)
    d12 (greataxe)
    d10 (Fiercebane) - MIC
    d8 (Berserker) - MIC
    d6 (Human Bane) - DMG
    d4 (Psychokinetic) - MIC

    On a crit.

    There is a force enchantment lets you add +1d4 to a weapon, so you could use that.

    Huh, I wonder...can you get arcane fusion into a spell storing weapon? I have an idea....

    Duskblade/Rogue with a Spellstored Sound Lance Sonic Greataxe with Blade of Fire cast and attacking with his eyes closed. d20->d12->d10->d6->d4-d2(or d100).

    Now I really want to play this, just because it'd be awesome. But no sane DM will allow it. Thanks, ZeroNumerous. I hope you're happy.

    You can't channel Lesser Orb of Fire. It's not a "Range:Touch" spell.

    Oh, right. Blade of Fire then gives +1d8 for a single round.

    EDIT: Also, it was Sound Lance. My bad.
