The only way I can explain the difference is down to the racial bonuses mentioned in the manual and race descriptions on the character generation screen. Its so easy to check as well, just turn on the "see rolls" option or check the THACO score in the record sheet with the weapon equiped. Both with the same strength, proficiencies and levels and the elf has one better THACO than the human in long swords. I have an elven kensai and human kensai, languishing in Irenicus's dungeon waiting for me to decide which one to play on. And those options aren't even exploitable by kensais.
Archers can even cast lvl 1-4 Priest Spells and Hide In Shadows. I'm a Kensai, but you'd never know by looking at me!". So not only is this example Kensai going around throwing things, (completely opposite to how he was trained) he has wasted proficientcy slots on a weapon that isn't even a sword. And what about the Bracers of Archery?ģ) Finally, what is a kensai doing with a dwarven thrower?Ī)They aren't supposed to use missle weapons (yeah yeah this one gets by, but still it is the concept of throwing something rather than being a "master of one-on-one combat" and using melee weapons)ī)Dwarven Thrower is a warhammer. with Kai on over 100 damage per round.ġ) Doesn't being an elf and having a high Dexterity, factor into all that somewhere?Ģ) You didn't consider an archer with a good shortbow, possibly getting enough attacks per round that the total adds up to be more. You could also use the Firetooth dagger (2d4+3 +1d2) to do even more damage.
Plus, if necessary Kensai can switch to melee where he will do TONS more damage than an Archer. do you want to kill something? or just lower it's THAC0 or STR for awhile?. Why bother with an Archer? The Kensai can do more damage and can even use Kai to guarantee that 84 damage per round, much more useful than Called Shot. Max damage 4 1/2 attacks per round = 67.5 +0 (no STR bonus, doesn't apply for bows or crossbows or slings!) +6 (18/00 strength, +9 with Girdle of Frost Giant Strength)ġd6+2 (arrow + damage bonus from Heartseeker) +3 (grandmastery, +5 if you use old BG tables) Level 13 Kensai using Dwarven Thrower (that throwing hammer you buy in Trademeet) Remove all ads! There's been a lot of Archer threads recently, well here's another one.
