[QUOTE="cooperjer, post: 6923332, member: 6862150"] Hello, I have a player that is playing a bladelock. He's a bit of an optimizer in that he likes to find efficient ways to gain good DPR. He asked for a change to the bonus action melee attack because a single weapon attack, Dueling Fighting style, was claimed to do more damage than the two weapon attack. A review of the Enworld forums and other internet posts gave a few ideas on how to make an improvement, but I wanted to see what the current state of damage per round was and what a future state of damage per round was. I also felt that, the players "customer concern" was really that Dueling fighting was doing more damage than Two-weapon fighting style. If that could be resolved then I should address his concern. I'm a mechanical engineer that specializes in finite element analysis so I got a little pedantic with this analysis. The PDF file is the report of the data I analyzed. The ZIP file contains an open document formatted Excel file of the calculations. There is a lot of information in the spreadsheet that is not in the PDF file. Some significant information is the analysis of the bladelock character that is following The Fiend path. I'll also warn that the spreadsheet is not extremely well structured for ease of use. I also saw some analysis of what to do with two-weapon fighting in the 5e forum. I felt this analysis was relevant. If you have any questions, recommendations, or see an error please let me know.
