Assassination, Whirlwind and Critical Strike all only last for 1 round, and you can only choose one ability per round (unless you abuse Improved Alacrity).

Critical Strike multiplies the damage by 2, unless the victim is wearing a Helmet or otherwise immune to Critical Hits.
Assassination multiplies the damage by 5, unless the victim is immune to Backstab.
Bear in mind that all attacks made during a Time Stop are guaranteed hits anyway.
doesn't seem like a tough call to me.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

When Dual-wielding, Improved Haste is pretty much exactly the same as Greater Whirlwind, and lasts longer.

Angelousss, a Kensai->Thief is indeed nice, but a Multiclass can wear armor a whole lot sooner. A question, though: I've heard that even with Use Any Item, Kensai still cannot wear Bracers/Gloves/Gauntlets. Is this true?
