    With a Fighter/Mage/Thief cast the following:

    Improved Alacrity, it removes the delay on all special abilities, without it this probably wouldn't work.

    Greater Whirlwind Attack, 10 attacks per round, enough said.

    Critical Strike, all your attacks count as critical hits.

    And the kicker, Assassination, every hit uses backstab modifier, x5 in this case.

    This would of course require the experience cap remover, since the f/m/t is about 400,000 experience points away from getting a 9th level spell slot, and without improved alacrity this won't work. Probably the reason why they can't, heh.

    Oh, and I'm assuming that each hit would do 100+ damage per hit(10 hits since assassination only lasts 1 round) but I've yet to test it out.

    You could cast Black Blade of Disaster beforehand too: 2d12+5 damage, or shapechange to Iron Golem: 4d10 damage

    You know, my f/m/t is actually closing in on that point. Just got his first 8:th level spellslot. Happy times are coming... As already I'm enjoying of the humongous amount of special moves. As Greater Evasion, Hardiness, Magic Resistance, and Avoid Death would make the character a true god in battle for the duration of the improved alactricity, in addition to the Critical Strikes, Whirlwind attacks and Master Assassins of course. For naturally before all this, he would be Stoneskin and Mirror Images -protected. In other words, merely one Improved Alactricity always as a lvl 9 spell and no other preparations, the character could come the ultimate survival champion and killing machine at the same time, at any given time when needed.

    Even gods would be better off standing some distance away for the duration of the few turns of that massacre.. :)
