Hello, First of all, please consider the drum technique: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmneRYgcUII(embedding doesn't work on this one) Now that you have seen it, notice that they forgot a couple of things in the power description for Final Confrontation (Frenzied Berserker Attack 20). First, you...

This looks great! I think your Excel-fu is stronger than mine. My suggestion: put screenshots comparing a few builds. I've been looking at the FRPG, but I got nothing. I haven't found anything that seemed particularly effective; the Ranger still looks much better than anything else right now...

OK this kind of thread, you're going to get lots of armchair experts debating the merits of many, many things that really don't affect you or your characters. I think that the correct way of answering this question is to decide what your objective is, then break out a spreadsheet and see what's...

Yeah, that's probably not a good idea. But how about this suggestion? You could delete the data for that rogue for LVL1-10. So that line in the chart would start at L11, which is where it should start anyway.

Not clear that it's necessarily later than the ranger (does it say anywhere that you roll all attack rolls first, then all damage rolls?) However, I think it's a reasonable reading that you can apply your sneak attack damage to any 1 attack you performed, so the effect for this thread is the...

That's what I was looking for. All right, now that the SW is taken care of, can you explain to me why you have the rogue quite a bit higher than the ranger at level 1? My charts have the rogue and ranger pretty close together (and the maul fighter higher). EDIT: I think I see what's going on...

I think you're looking at a previous version. I updated to 1.10 when I posted the formulae.

I don't think people will necessarily use the spreadsheet (most people won't), but the charts will be useful to everyone. By the way, you Excel-fu is stronger than mine. How do you split the spreadsheet the way you did? I tried something similar, with "panes", but obviously didn't get something...

Dear Splart, Thanks for your reply. Well, I can't take credit. I originally had it that you used quarry on the first hit, but someone on the WotC forums pointed out that rule. Right, which doesn't affect me because my rogues only attack once per round, but you've got a twin strike rogue in...

It's only included as an example on the Level 20 chart. I will put a clearer warning.

Like Revinor says, I'm not talking about applying the L16 paragon path feature twice to the same guy. It's the L11 and L16 path features, which are different features (with different type damage!) and you can put both of them on the same guy. So in a round, you can do 2x dex to one guy plus 1x...

Dear Splart, Thanks for your reply. Well, I can't take that into account here, I'm doing RAW. PHB104: under "Hunter's Quarry": "If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled." I'll double check the...

When you use a flaming weapon (or, one supposes, a frost weapon), you do get keyword inheritance and then that procs lasting frost, etc... However, there's a FAQ here: http://wizards.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wizards.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1396 Answer 15 states in part: "You have to be...

Yeah, I guess I'll have to nerf my casters.

OK, I see what happened. I should note that Splart's spreadsheet is new and there are some errors in it, some of which are documented in the thread. I'm sure it will improve over time. Yes, the Hellish Rebuke lock on that chart is doing pretty well. The reason is that he gets 2x Cold...

Well apparently you didn't get into the spreadsheet very much, because both Hellish Rebuke Warlocks (rows 67 and 118) clearly deal 1d6 damage (damage is 11-16 and 14-19). In addition, the Con score of Hellish Rebuke characters is clearly marked as being 23 (row 67) and 25 (row 118). So, you...

The Warlock has a DPR which is lower than most other classes. This has been analyzed in a couple of threads, but I point you to my thread, which has a detailed numerical analysis: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=234620 Briefly, at Level 1, you can expect a DPR of 6-9 for a...

Keep reading a bit further on PHB276 to dispel your doubt. On a 2[W], you get to add your bonuses as usual. On a crit, you maximize that damage, then add any random dice to the damage (again, example on PHB276). You don't get to add your bonuses twice.

I think your Ranger SW damage is wrong from levels 1-10 and levels 16-30. From 1-10, you're counting some auto damage and some miss damage which isn't there. You should really fix that, it's a difference of as much as 10DPR. For 16-30, you're forgetting the second auto damage ability, there...

I'm not understanding the AC either. Take the scim elf ranger (I always look at that one because it's simple and I know it well.) At level 2 (say), by my count, he should have +3 (hide) +1 (enh) +4 (dex) +1 (level) +1 (TWD) +10 (base) = 20. (EDIT: I had an error here before.) Did you not give...
