A question about Krsboss' 'spear of destiny' (listed as Bard 6, RDD 10, WM24). I have tried pushing back WM 3 levels and taking all the RDD so as to take martial weapon prof and use a warhammer and shield, but then I only make 15BAB by 20 (3 attacks ). I feel it is not possible to take martial and get 4 attacks with these classes? Can someone tell me, is it worth using a mace (i always like bludgeoning) and shield, is it possible to get 4 attacks with a warhammer, or would you just continue using a spear?? (Question Posted in build thread too)
That was one of the first builds I ever posted If you want to use a warhammer, this can be acheived like this:
01: Bard(1): weapon proficiency martial, dodge 02: Bard(2) 03: Bard(3): mobility 04: Bard(4): STR+1, (STR=18) 05: Bard(5) 06: Bard(6): weapon focus 07: Bard(7) 08: Red Dragon Disciple(1): STR+1, (STR=19) 09: Red Dragon Disciple(2): spring attack, (STR=21) 10: Red Dragon Disciple(3) 11: Red Dragon Disciple(4): (STR=23) 12: Red Dragon Disciple(5): STR+1, expertise, (STR=24) 13: Red Dragon Disciple(6) 14: Red Dragon Disciple(7): (CON=12) 15: Red Dragon Disciple(8): whirlwind attack 16: Weapon Master(1): STR+1, weapon of choice, (STR=25) 17: Weapon Master(2) 18: Weapon Master(3): improved critical 19: Weapon Master(4) 20: Weapon Master(5): STR+1, (STR=26) 21: Red Dragon Disciple(9): great strength I, (STR=27), (INT=16) 22: Red Dragon Disciple(10): {Darkvision}, (STR=31), (CHA=14) 23: Weapon Master(6) 24: Weapon Master(7): STR+1, great strength II, (STR=33) 25: Weapon Master(8) 26: Weapon Master(9) 27: Weapon Master(10): great strength III, (STR=34) 28: Weapon Master(11): STR+1, (STR=35) 29: Weapon Master(12) 30: Weapon Master(13): great strength IV, epic weapon focus, (STR=36) 31: Weapon Master(14) 32: Weapon Master(15): STR+1, (STR=37) 33: Weapon Master(16): great strength V, epic prowess, (STR=38) 34: Weapon Master(17) 35: Weapon Master(18) 36: Weapon Master(19): STR+1, great strength VI, armor skin, (STR=40) 37: Bard(8) <---skill dump (minimum level for 40 tumble!) 38: Weapon Master(20) 39: Weapon Master(21): great strength VII, (STR=41) 40: Weapon Master(22): STR+1, epic toughness I, (STR=42)
Saving Throws (Fortitude/Will/Reflex): 20/21/23
Using a mace would reduce criticals from x4 to x3, damage from 1d8 to 1d6, however would free up a feat to take as you see fit, blindfight initially springs to mind!
HOWEVER, whether you want to use Mace, Warhammer, Spear or otherwise, you may wish to consider dropping a further 3 Weapon Master levels in favour of more bard levels, this will give you access to 4th level spells such as Improved Invisibilty & Warcry, with +2 AC from song!
