Time trial challenge
the challenge is to make a character build, DnD only, that goes faster than 774.4 feet per round...
Bonus points to anyone who understands why this is important...
rules...
Spoilerno pun-pun or obvious breaking of the game...only land speed or flight speed count and remember terminal velocity is not feasable for this..SpoilerA Fighter/Paladin will just hack you to bits
A Wizard/Sorcerer will just blow you up with a spell
A Rogue/Ranger/Monk will just kill you in your sleep
A Cleric/Druid will just squash you after buffing himself
A Bard will slowly twist your ethics, corrupt your morals, and make you do vile acts just for the chance to face him. When you fight him, he will have your family and friends fighting for him. For he wields the deadliest weapon against you and that is, his word against yours.

Re: Time trial challenge
You need to hit 150 feet per move action to reach your goal (if you take the run feat).
Monk 18 gets you a speed bonus of 60 per move action. Air Elementals have a base speed of 100.
So Monk 18 PaO into a small Air Elemental. With the run feat you get a fly speed of 750 feet per round (perfect maneuverability). Now throw in the Sorcerer/Wizard spell Fly Like an Arrow (Dragon #308). It allows you to fly 10 times as fast.
So thats 7,500 feet per round.
Now why did you want to hit 774.4 feet per round?

Re: Time trial challenge
Get a someone to cast Lightning Bolt on you. Or cast Summon Libyan Nationalist Plutonium. The question is, where do you get the flux capacitor from?

Re: Time trial challenge
Fusion reactor? Flux capacitor? Plutonium?
You guys are overthinking this.
It's just a jump to the left...

Re: Time trial challenge
Pretty much. It's a rather specific number, and 774.4 feet per round times 600 rounds per hour divided by 5280 feet per mile gives 88 miles per hour with some fairly simple math (well, simple if you have a calculator handy anyway), and we all know what that number means.
