[QUOTE="Nefarii, post: 5866067, member: 54541"] This should solely be used as a tool for comparing two weapons. If a character is solely invested into hammer feats, then sure, go Mordenkrad. I just find it fascinating when you get into comparisons like this: What weapon is better? +4 Enhancement, +3 Prof, Versatile, 1d8 or +3 Enhancement, +2 Prof, Highcrit(2W), 1d12 Everyone should say that the second one does more damage (it does). However, it will only take a few swings for the first one to do more damage over time because if the exact same character wields both, the first one hits 10% more often then the second one resulting in more damage over time. This is why I built the calculator. [MENTION=6684526]GreyICE[/MENTION] - Im not exactly getting your math. Say a character hits on an 11-20 with a +1 enhance +3 prof weapon. Which means that he would hit on a 12-20 with an ordinary +3 prof weapon. If a guy rolls to attack 20 times he should hit 10 times with the +1 weapon and 9 times with the +0 weapon. If the weapon does a 1d10, lets say 5.5 average to make it easy, then he would do 55 damage compared to 49.5 which equals 10% like you said. But this is over 20 swing chances, Im only doing this for 10 swing chances which would be half of 10% which would be 5%. The first guy would hit 5 times and the second guy would hit 4.5 times.
