3 extra attacks per round, does it stack? (likeley DM test required)

Post by Astegard » Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:24 pm

Hey guys,

So i've come up with a build that will have:
Rapid shot (+1attack)
Thundering rage (+1attack on arelith that stacks with hase according to wiki)
Haste (+1 attack)

The big question however, does it stack for 3 extra attacks?

It should. I'm more concerned with what you are doing that takes 25 STR and still uses ranged.

You're right. Participating in the forums was a mistake. Won't do this again.

Damn wrong section, and yes its a throwing axe build.

AB will be sub optimal but the 3 extra attacks an should +- cover that.

Under the Murphy law, that works only for NPCs and your opponents... :lol: with you rarely rolling 20 in numerous rounds...

The 3 extra APR will not make up for that, every extra attack works in a separated reverse-scaling of AB, like your BAB.

Meaning, if you have 40/35/30/35 AB on your main attacks, you'd get 40/35/30 on your extra attacks.

The mere existence of this concept upsets me.

Play it.

This looks like a promising ranged build, please come and visit the All Things Ranged builds thread and share it with us.

The first two replies is "it should". I wouldn't bank potentially months-years of my life on "should" lol

If you're banking anything on a build that revolves around throwing axes, you're doing it wrong.

I'm just glad to see someone finally axing the real questions around here.

I'm so sorry.
May you live in interesting times.

How is it a troll? Maybe the guy also is really good with melee too witu thundering rage with an unexpected respectable range damage. Why is everyone pooping in this? With batbsrian rage bonus plus strnlength and 7 attacks oer round, its respectable damage. The only challenge he faces is AB. But again he can melee too.

I mean in so far we know the build gets rapid shot (so either ranger, or 13 dex+point blank shot), 25 STR and 15 barbarian levels. I cannot see this going anywhere mechanically apt, as much as the concept may be thematically sound and cool.

YOu don't need 21 barbs for Thunder rage? Also you can manage to pull off a base 25 dex and 25 strength (you really have to push it though)

You need 15 barbarian levels, 25 STR and 21 level minimum(not necessarily all barb). Getting 25 STR/DEX will also murder your CON.

Optimistically, this should actually be fairly viable(even if aggregating ammunition is going to be agony) because of the fairly good probability of rolling at least one crit per round over a 6 throw flurry.

As far as damage is concerned, if they build a smith, and focus in it, it shouldn't be too hard for them to make themselves damask throwing axes, or steel for a baseline. They're going to go through them very quickly though.

Someone do a damage calculation for how hard this thing will crit. That'll make it easier to calculate if the heavy hits are worth the misses.

Throwing axe is x2. I'm going to say the Crits probably aren't going to be worth it. Even more so now, that you can put 4 properties (I think it was?) on arrows, bolts, and bullets. My last point being moot if you can apply the templates to axes and such. But I don't think that you can, because they're a 'bundle' use property.
It's a Dwarf, no it's a Dragon, no it's a Halfling! I think.
