Blue
Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
My anydice-fu isn't up to this task, I was wondering if I can get some help.
I'd like to compare "X or better" rolls so I can see if attacks would hit for:
This would represent basically tier 2, when the ability score has not been maxed yet so a dex increase is directly comparable.
My plan after that is to multiply the elven option by 10 (rapier + 3.5 dex* + dueling style) and the halfling option by 10.5 (rapier + 4 dex + dueling style) to account for the extra damage of +2 dex. (This isn't needed with a bow, since a halfling can't use a longbow without disadvantage, so the smaller damage die but the higher Dex are a wash).
EDIT: * Oh shoot, I forgot Elven Accuracy was a half feat which can add to Dex. Grr. Adjusting numbers above to give the halfling a ".5" bonus.
And works out special for crits, which elven accuracy favors.
It's a given that the halfling will do better without advantage or with disadvantage - higher dex plus Lucky still applies. I'd like to see how it stands up to Elven Accuracy when both have advantage.
To be blunt, I've seen a lot of excitement on both forums and in games for elven accuracy, and I wonder if we've had a sleeper with similar characteristics outside SS/GWM we've undervalued since 5e came out.
