01-17-07, 01:44 PM If wielding 2 weapons as well as a pair of boot blades lets you qualify for MWF, this could really improved the damage out put of TWF Stormguard and Sneak Attack builds.

Just running it through my head, i figured id add them on something that already qualifies. Say my 20th level thri-kreen warblade (non-psionic with level buy off, 2 racial HD, 18 class levels) has 4 daggers of speed, 2 boot blades of speed, MWF, IMWF and GMWF. Thats 25 attacks per round.

Throw in Raging Mongoose, Time Stands Still and Stormguard Warrior. If all touch attack hit on the first round thats +125 to damage on all attacks the consecutive round. You then activate Raging Mongoose and Time Stands still and get an extra 27 attacks (total 52). If all your attacks hit your getting 6250 in bonus damage alone.

And im sure thats not even optimized. It uses one class, one feat and 2 maneuvers. The extra 8 attacks from 2 boot blades of speed and the MWF tree really helps though.

Armor spikes of speed.

Animated spiked shied with spikes of speed.

That hair braid blade from Dungeon 120 of speed.

Horned helmet of speed.

Mouthpick double weapon of speed.

Yes, I think about this kind of thing a lot.

The only thing like that in the FAQ is the ruling on the bracers of quick strike, which is another thing entirely.

It also says that you can only wield two weapons; however, this appears not to be the case for thri-keen and other MWFers.
