Items
Highlights
- Strength: 28 (+9) = 16 (Base) + 6 (Item) + 4 (Tome) + 2 (Level)
- Intelligence: 30 (+10) = 16 (Base) + 6 (Item) + 3 (Level) + 5 (Tome)
- Attack: +41/+41/+36/+36/+31/+31/+26 = 17 (BAB) + 9 (Strength) + 10 (Cunning Insight) + 5 (Magic) - 2 (Two-Weapon Fighting) + 2 (Combat Focus)
- AC: 46 = 10 (Base) + 10 (Cunning Defense) + 13 (+5 Mithral Full Plate) + 5 (Natural Armor) + 5 (Deflection) + 3 (Dexterity)
- TWF + Blood in the Water + Raging Mongoose + Keen Kukris = pwn
- Stormguard Warrior + Above = massive damage next round. Perhaps take Diamond Nightmare Blade with floating feat for even more damage next round.
- Stormguard Warrior + Robilar's Gambit = awesomesauce
- Attack: Something
- Damage: Something
Tactics
- Omnislash-crit-OMNOMNOM with Cunning Surge fueling extra actions/strikes
Further Optimization
- Surging Inspiration will let you regain IP mid-battle
Limitations
- Casters-OMNOMNOM
DM Counters
- Concealment, cover, mobility, illusions, etc
Variants
- Instead of going with the two-weapon fighting chain, instead pick up a falchion and power attack to focus on more single attacks that may do more damage.
- Replace Stormguard Warrior and Robilar's Gambit with more Font of Inspiration for even more Inspiration points.
- Use the bonus feat from Chameleon to qualify for Robilar's Gambit. Once you gain the bonus Warblade feat for Combat Reflexes switch it out for Font of Inspiration or Greater Two-Weapon Fighting.
