05-14-07, 05:42 PM How many attacks would a dervish have if she had:
4 attacks from BAB
Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting w/ a weapon in each hand
Slashing Flurry (+1 attack with a slashing weapon)
and used her "A Thousand Cuts" ability to double the number of attacks.

I think its 20. ((4+1(SF))x2(each hand))x2(1000 cuts)
so 5x2x2=20.

I'm not sure if thats how the feats and abilities work together though.

Also, she could be hasted or have speed weapons which would allow another attack so that would be 6x2x2 which would be 24.

I think I'm missing something because that seems like a lot, but it is only 1/day (1000 cuts) so I could see it being possible.

Any opinions?

05-14-07, 09:14 PM I think it is possible from my reading of the feats and class but I wouldn't double the bonus attack from slashing fury. Just as a wizard with a ring of wizardry only doubles his base spells, I would rule that the 1000 cuts only double the base of 4. So you would end up with 18 attacks, 20 with haste or a speed weapon.

flurry + two weapon fight + thousand cuts

05-15-07, 06:31 AM Use a martial script of the level 9 maneuver Time Stands Still (usable by any class at any level) which enables you to take a full attack action two times in succession within a round...

Supplement this with a further script of the level 8 maneuver Raging Mongoose which allows two additional attacks with each weapon (outside of the full attack action) as a swift action and the total number of blows is probably starting to look scary...

Whether you could also stack a Haste spell in with this I'm not sure. I know it's specifically excepted in some cases but I can't recall offhand whether this would be one of them.
