    D&D 5E (2014) Obvious synergies you never realized

    I wouldn't use level 20 as the go-to comparison point. But yes, the "discount factor" gets closer to 100% as attack bonuses go up, especially if you're attacking recklessly. Applying Tough to beast form seems a bit cheesy, but even by a liberal reading, beasts don't have levels. I guess the...

Presumably as a barbarian you would have had at least 16 or 17. It's about a 5 point delta in average DPR. Of course, if you...
