[3.5] Crits on Undead for cheap
« on: June 07, 2012, 07:46:17 PM »
Quick, how can I be allowed to make critical hits against an undead for less than 2000 gp at level 6 with 1 or fewer feats and no spare class levels to shuffle around. Got a oneshot in 15 minutes, built a crit fisher, just heard it's going to be primarily undead opponents. Not really expecting much help, but, eh.

EDIT: Nevermind, game's started and I found houserule based solutions.

Would a Ghost Strike weapon be 2k or 4k since it requires Ghost Touch first?

Neither, as it is also required that the weapon have a +1 enhancement bonus; also remember that weapons are twice as expensive as armor. The synergy properties in the Magic Item Compendium are, in my opinion, poorly presented. It would have been better to present Ghost Strike as a +2 property with a "Special:" line noting that you only have to pay an additional +1 if the weapon is already  Ghost Touch.

If this does not answer your question, you should probably start a new thread, as the originator has indicated that their question was answered.

I remember the deathstrike bracers (mic), but they are a little more expensive I think. 5k or 6k GP.

Wand of Grave Strike.  750gp.
What do I win?
An awesome-five for mentioning Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

Specifically excludes crits. You only get sneak attack.

That'll teach me to suggest things when AFB.

Gauntlets of Ghostfighting from MIC are 4000 gp and make all your attacks ghost touch.  Take craft wondrous and craft a pair at half cost?  It's part of an item set, though, so making it might be difficult to justify w/o another piece of the set.

Oh, wait...that doesn't let you crit...my bad.
