Venerable Kobold Bonus Feat Variant Rogue 2/Anything with spot as a class skill 16 All ability score points in dexterity (score of 12) All level-up ability bonuses in dexterity (score of 16 at 17th level) buy a +5 dex tome feats: 1st: dragonwrought, Point Blank Shot (bonus) 2nd: Far Shot (bonus) 3rd-15th: Great dexterity (for a score of 26 at 15th level) 18th: Distant shot firing at the sun gets you an arrow/bolt/weapon traveling at 80 times the speed of light

With respect to your build, wouldn't it be easier to start with a score of 20 in Dex? Put in an 18, +2 Racial bonus? Also, Gloves of Dexterity will allow you to qualify for the feat without all those Great Dexterity feats. Play your cards right, you could likely pull this off before 10th level. Unless there's a Spot requirement on the feat, I've not actually looked at the Prereqs. If so, look at the feat in Cityscape that gives you a bonus rank for qualifying one level earlier. It's like Favored in Guild or somesuch. Also, I think the basic gist of this has been done before. You may wish to check the Hulking Hurler builds, as I think they've got something like this in it (although the reason isn't for exceeding light speed, but for massive damage at range). Nice to see people still thinking about this sort of thing, though. Creative minds are always a help.
#3 swiftblu Mar 24, 2008 11:47:04	Actually, wouldn't the speed of light be infinite in DnD, since you could see arbitrarily far with an arbitrarily high Spot check? Your eyes would be picking up light that hadn't gotten to you yet, assuming the real world's speed of light.

#5 naldor Apr 02, 2008 23:04:00	Where's the guy who runs faster than light? This I'd have to see, combined with the rule in the PHB somewhere that unless otherwise stated, D&D works like RL. Using relativistic speeds, and then hitting people... mwhaha.

It's otherwise stated by the rules for spot checks...
#7 capt_smash Apr 07, 2008 18:33:32	I believe you is looking for the "Chuck" Or the ruby knight windicator
#8 bauglir Apr 08, 2008 18:35:39	Specifically, Chuck E. Cheese. I think the thread's over at CO.
