Okay, I posted a thread about this earlier, then deleted it because of the description for the character, then read somewhere else that it was different. Confused yet?

Level 16/20 Assassin/Mage. Poison Weapon and Energy Blades. According to Sorcerer's Place, this is what the poison will do:

-lvl-15+: 3 HP poison damage every sec for 10 seconds unless save vs. poison; 3 poison damage every sec for 4 seconds - no saving throw; Target is slowed for 30 seconds unless save vs. paralyze - max 42 poison damage, 12 if target saves, plus stun effect unless target saves

9 ApR, everyone does electrical damage, everyone does poison damage, everyone has a chance to stun or slow. And it's quite capable of Poison-locking any non-fully resistant-to-poison-damage enemy into oblivion.

Theorycraft, yes, but I would like to know if it actually works in real-life like that. The weak link? I've read somewhere that it lasts for 24 seconds. However, the description says that it only works for the next hit. Which one is right?

Now, carrying the idea a bit farther: Assassin -> Fighter using the Gesen Bow with Grand Mastery in Bows, yada-yada.

It has all of the goodies that an Assassin/Mage would have, except that it can be Improved Hast'ed, which means a longer attacking period (GoES for the extra 1/2 attack, and the GrandMastery patch). And I'd think that an Assassin -> Fighter would have better thac0 too.
