[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5358822, member: 82425"] The other thing to consider in all of this is that to really max out the dex hit, the player needed to start with a Stat of 20 (after racial). Assuming you are using point allocation (and not random rolling) that is a big sacrifice in its own, making this character (at a guess) High Dex, Moderate something else and completely naf the rest. Its a "one dimensional whacking machine". It might have great numbers in combat, but where are his skills at? What about NAD's? What are his options for feat picks outside of Dex? So it had to give up well rounded stats AND a feat pick to get to this point. Maybe the thing to do is consider that comparing characters is more than just comparing basic attacks. (Though I will concede...a slayer is a whacking machine) It works, but I have been playing this game for a long time and I stopped playing one hit wonders a long time ago. For my tastes, I like well rounded characters. [/QUOTE]
