# The swordage's weapon focus is changed to light mace to meet the prerequisite for lightning mace at level 9.Desert Wind includes [[SRD:Scimitar|Scimitar]], [[SRD:Light Mace|Light Mace]], [[SRD:Light Pick|Light Pick]], [[SRD:Spear|Spear]] and [[SRD:Falchion|Falchion]]

Much of the build is prerequisites; the goals are in '''bold-face'''. Once everything in bold  === Skills === * Balance 8 is acquired except for one required before level 6.* Slight of Lightning Mace and Two With One Blow the build starts to work, although it works better with Lightning Mace. When all are acquired it works even against critically immune and unhittable foes, although there are [[#Limitations|other counters]]Hand 4 (cross class) is required before level 10.

In the first few levels play as an about1-average fighter/monk type 6 enjoy having no clear plan and convincing your DM and fellow players that this character using either exciting exotic weapons or unarmed strike two-weapon fighting. Use Distracting Ember liberally to get flanking bonuses. Throw up Punishing Stance was a bad idea and slaughter thingsthat you're crazy. At You can leave off Chakram Ricochet till level 6 to 8 continue fighting melee or throw boomerangs for a few levels for variety. You could also pick up some +1 aptitude 3 and mess around with exotic weapons, or +1 aptitude keen ammunition like shurikens or skiprocks and throw some of those for a while. At level 9 the build really starts to work because your thrown weapons come back to you instantly. Pick up the nicest +1 aptitude, if possible keen, 18or two-20 weapon you can, like a scimitar. Toss a light mace in your left hand if necessary. Get more +1 aptitude keen weapons as soon as possible, flurry of blows with flanking bonuses and keep them all so you have backups if one of yours gets snatched out an extra d6 of the airdamage. Here's what to do:

If Throw you have only an 18-20 aptitude weapon. Two things happen if the initial attack hits. First it generates a second attack from Chakram Ricochet which can strike any foe within 5' of the original target at -2. This attack gets any extra sneak-attack damage if any. Second, you get two chances to get two it spawns an extra attacks 3/20ths of adjacent attack at -2 from Boomerang Ricochet, this one without sneak-attack damage. If the timeBoomerang Ricochet hits, it ricochets again from Chakram Ricochet at an additional -2, and make about two and hits another foe within 5'. You can throw out your distracting ember to be the target of a half attacks for each ricochet to bounce the second Chakram Ricochet back if necessary. You can use Steely Strike to get +4 to attack, netting yourself on average a +1 bonus every three roundsat the expense of -4 AC.

At 12th level you stop worrying about critical immune foesLightning Mace, Lightning Ricochet and Keen weapons. You hit both Each of your ember and throws or ricochets that hits threatens 6/20ths of the foe with each time, generating an extra attack and each ricochet by using Two With One Blow. Although the On rounds with a distracting ember, throw your attack rolls are only made once, at it with both Boomerang and thus can only trigger lightning mace onceChakram ricochets directed at your opponent, with the criticals are confirmed separately. This gives you two 6/20th chances to lightning mace and two almost 6/20 chances to critical with Chakram Ricochet off the roundabout kick on Boomerang Ricochet directed back at the ember. This diverges almost as frequently as at level 9 without critical immune foesTo keep your ember alive to try to do unlimited damage choose to use non-lethal damage first.

At 16th level With Two with One Blow, you hit on touch attacks, making can make a thrown attack against two adjacent foes at -4. Toss out an ember and attack it much easier and the enemy next to start it. You use only one attack roll, but roll critical confirmations separately. Chakram Ricochet causes a cascade of damagericochet at -6 within 5' for each one you hit. All of your aptitude weapons have double crit range because If you hit either, you are treated as having [[SRD:Improved Critical|Improved Critical]] get a Boomerang Ricochet (Boomerangs-6) due at something adjacent to having one you hit. If the weapon focus and Critical throwBoomerang Ricochet hits, you get another Chakram Ricochet at a total of -8. For each threat made you get to start over with another Two with One Blow attack.

* Find a way to deny Dex bonuses to AC. The Sneaky Shot trick can do that, but [[SRD:Sleight_of_Hand_Skill|slight of hand]] is a cross-class skill for the other classes.* Increase range by picking up [[SRD:Far Shot|Far Shot]]. You could also switch your thrown weapon focus to a specialize in throwing slashing thrown weaponweapons, pick up [[SRD:Weapon Specialization|Weapon Specialization]] in the same a slashing ranged weapon(your scimitar with Throw Anything might qualify), and grab Ranged Weapon Mastery – Slashing (PHB II, p82) for +2 attack, damage, and +20' range increment. Or you could start throwing aptitude [[SRD:Rapier|rapiers]] instead using your existing piercing thrown weapon focus in spear.
