aasimar scourge light mace

[painkiller3]

trying to maximize crit range and multiplier through sacred bonus from aasimar scourge, competence bonus from swashbuckler and extra critical multiplier from frenzied berserker. 14 levels of barbarian gives extra barbarian damage resistance, 3 wizard gives arcane barrier (which I love) as well as a little bit of extra dps. I think this would work...now if only there were any named melee light maces lol. extra speed comes from barbarian and bard levels. criticism/improvements requested please

The critical multiplier from Swashbuckler and Frenzied Berserker don't stack. For a Bard/Barbarian build like this, you might as well just use a Hand Axe and save yourself a pile of racial AP. Where Scourge/Light Mace really pays off is when Swashbuckler are your only critical bonuses.

But the frenzied berserker still gives a plus one competence to multiplier (since swashbuckler gives 2 threat and 1 multiplier)

By my count the light mace comes out ahead

Handaxe
20x3 + 2 critical range (sb) + 2 multiplier (fb) = 18-20x5

Light mace
20x2 + 2 critical range (sb) + 1 critical range (sacred) + 2 multiplier (fb doesn’t stack with swashbuckler) + 1 sacred multiplier = 17-20x5

In Dreadnought your final critical threat range will be 14-18/5 19-20/7. If using Skullsmasher, add +1 to critical multiplier across the board, but it can't be Sentient'ed.

By comparison, handaxes are 15-18/5 19-20/8. +1 range if using Forgotten Axe.

Where do you get the extra +1 on 19-20 for the hand axe? I have it +7:+8 (19-20) for the mace because of pulverized

[unbongwah]

Pulverizer is +1 critical range which is why it's 14-20. Headman's Chop is +1 multiplier on 19-20 which is why it's x8.
