Aug 05, 2009 10:58:13 Let me start with the fact that I am AFB at the moment.

I want to make a character that fights from a prone position, I don't really know what to do aside from possibly using bluff to feign death and then when they come near take an AoO to hop up and start tearing them a new one. This build will prolly need Some Monk, Rogue, and Cleric(for sloth domain).
If anyone has a better idea for this let me know im still tossing ideas around.

I was thinking of some kind of death attack with a crossbow,

Good Assassin PrC who's name i dont remember atm is accessable by a cleric rogue pretty quickly right?

Aug 05, 2009 19:01:16 Black Flame Zealot (Complete Divine) actually isn't a very good PrC, even if you're looking for death attacks.

As mentioned, the Sloth domain (Spell compendium) removes the penalty to AC against melee attacks while prone.

The 'kip up' ability for thief-acrobat and the 'back on your feet' skill trick from complete scoundrel let a character stand from prone as a free or swift action.

Well if i can hit a DC 35 Tumble check I can stand as a free action without the need for a feat.(This is fairly do able with a magic item.) But If I recall there is a feat that lets you attack while prone and if you suceed you automatically stand up with No AoO.

Anyone other Death Attacks out there? I am still AFB so I can check out BFZ so I guess I'll keep trying.
