Attack Patterns
- Boris has Twin Sword Strike - He always attack with both swords if he attacks.
- Boris also has non-leathal saps somewhere for dealing subdual sneak attack damage
- Either the +1 Ghosttouch Sword, +1 Stormcaller, or +1 Spell storing dagger should be in teh primary hand to maximize hit and damage (yes I finally game up and decided to eek out the extra damage over just holding the greek sword there)
- Note that the Stormcaller dagger is cold iron if needed
- One of these receives a GMW from Nikolai every day. Assume the Ghosttouch sword for now.
Standard Hasted Full Attack
With that, and haste ("level" rounds of combat a day)...
- !try 33;ghosttouch 33;gt 28;cronos 28;gt 23;c 23;gt 18;c
- (Yes the cronus sword is conveniently 5 behind the +1 weapon. Go go insight bonuses to all weapons)
Haste & Arcane Strike
For big baddies, use Arcane strike. Level 4 spells for 1 round, level 3 spells for 2 rounds. If it's still alive, think about it.
- Level 4
- !try 37;ghosttouch 37;gt 32;cronos 32;gt 27;c 27;gt 22;c
Base Damage
Base Damage:
- Primary Hand, 1d6 + 15 ( 4 Str + 5 enhancement + 1 martial prowess + 5 insight )
- !roll 1d6+15
- Off hand Censword: 1d6 + 8 ( 2 Str + 5 Insight + 1 martial prowess )
- !roll 1d6+8
Potential Extra Damage:
- Arcane Strike: 1d4+1 per level of spell used. Must use 1 spell slot for each weapon (reserve a 4th level slot for DJ early on)
- 9d6 Sneak attack. Will be 10d6 at level 20
For Our Real Friends, By Which I Sarcastically Mean Enemies And Taras
- 14 BaB + + 2 Invisible + 1 haste + 2 flanking + 4 arcane strike + 5 insight
- + 4 Str + 5 GMW primary
- + 2 Str offhand Censword
- !try 41;ghosttouch 41;gt 36;cronos 36;gt 31;c 31;gt 26;c
- !roll 7d6+84+28d4+28+63d6
- 4 * ( 1d6 short sword + 4 str + 1 martial prowess + 5 insight + 5 Enhancement + 4d4+4 arcane strike + 9d6 sneak attack ) = 4d6+60+16d4+16+36d6
- 3 * ( 1d6 short sword + 2 str + 1 martial prowess + 5 insight + 4d4+4 arcane strike + 9d6 sneak attack ) = 3d6+24+12d4+12+27d6
- at level 20, add another 7d6 sneak attack

Equipment -
Greek Short Sword of Censored. See Wiki
- Grants MIN( 5, +Level / 3 ) Insight to Hit, Damage
- Grants MIN( 5, +Level / 4 ) Insight to AC, Reflex
- Extra Standard Action 1/Day -> Dazed next round
- Lv 15: Extra Full Round Action
- Haste "Level" Rounds / Day
- May use one round to cast Slow as a touch attack in a attack
- DC 10 + Half Level - MAX( 0, -1 Cha )
- If the sword's wielder has at least 5 hit dice, he may temporarily remove himself from the time stream for a number of rounds equal to his character level. He seems to disappear in a whirlwind of sand, and reappears after this ability's duration expires. He reappears in exactly the same orientation and condition as before; from the wielder's point of view, no time has passed at all. In each round of the ability's duration, on what would have been his turn, the wielder can attempt a DC 15 Wisdom check. Success allows him to return to the time stream. He may act normally on his next turn after this ability's effect ends.
STANDARD action
- If the sword's wielder has at least 9 hit dice, he may temporarily gain the ability to perceive the probable outcomes of your immediate environment. You see the many alternative branches that reality could take in the next few seconds; with this foreknowledge you gain the ability to reroll one attack roll, one saving throw, one ability check, or one skill check each round of the ability's duration. You must take the result of the reroll, even if it's worse than the original roll. This ability may be activated once per day as a swift action, and it lasts for three rounds.
- If the sword's wielder has at least 11 hit dice, he gains an exceptional ability to perceive the stream of time; he can see pathways through time that are closed to others. By entering such a pathway, he can speed up so greatly that all other creatures seem frozen, though they are actually still moving at normal speed. This grants him the ability to act for one round of apparent time, plus another round for every 4 additional hit dice that the wielder possesses (2 rounds at 15 HD, 3 at 19 HD, etc.). While so accelerated, the sword's wielder is partially isolated from the normal time stream, and his actions are restricted. Other creatures are invulnerable to his attacks and abilities. He can affect unattended objects, but not objects worn, carried, or held by other creatures. Normal and magical fire, cold, acid, and the like can still harm him. When the wielder of the sword exits the alternate time-pathway, he resumes acting on his current turn in the normal time stream. This power can be used once per day; activating it is a SWIFT action.
