Three devastating critical hits in a single three hit flurry. Image source: NWN EE (WoG PW)
Details:
This is a dual kukri devastating critical version of the Epic Bardic Master I previously created.
- 7 attacks (with Haste) with keen kukris (threat range 12-20)
- Dev Crit Fort save or die DC 38-44
- AC lowering with Curse Song (-5 to 7 AC)/Darkness/Hold Monster or Confusion
- AC boosts with Haste/Bard Song
- Hard to hit with 50% concealment from Improved Invisibility and 50% attack miss chance from Darkness
- AB boost with Bard Song/Bull’s/War Cry
- Damage boost with Divine Might / Power Attack / 4d6 sneak attack / Bard Song / Flame Weapon (UMD) / Bless Weapon or Holy Sword (UMD)
- Darkness/Ultravision/Sneak Attack (up to 4d6) combo
- Silence casters with self cast aura (for tricks how to use the silence spell well, here is a guide)
- Set and retrieve Epic Traps, Craft Deadly Traps, Open Lock up to DC 60 with +10 pick, Search skill
- Potentially Level 30 bard song with Lasting Inspiration to boost skills even further
- Level 1-6 bard spells
- Great saves with Dark Blessing (up to +9 to all from CHA bonus), bard song (will +3 fort +2 reflex +2) and bard song boosted spellcraft (+6 or more to saves against spells) + evasion to avoid damage against reflex saves
- Weaknesses – low base HP, arcane spell failure using armor (reduced arcane spell failure equipment recommended)

Epic Bard song boosts skills and has excellent synergy with rogue skills – disable/retrieve/set epic traps (DC 65+), open locks (DC 60+ with a +10 pick). Sources: NWN EE (WoG PW)
