      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)

      Top left – Bugbears (Ghost Tower), Darkness/Ultravision/Divine Might/Keen Weapon/Sneak Attack. Top right – Ethereal Visage / Self-Silence. Bottom left – Duergar/Darkness/Ultravision. Bottom right – after battle. Image source: NWN EE, WoG PW

      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)
