[QUOTE="Aeloric1976, post: 7349856, member: 6939509"] That's a good question. The goal was to make a more or less precise estimate on how much all these different factor increase DPR (no reactions). For instance, is it better or worse to make a power attack when I score a hit rolling 10+ in a d20? Is it better or worse to use Hexblade's Curse instead of Hex? How much more DPR can I expect if I roll 3d20 (Elven Accuracy) instead of 2d20 in a Combat Advantage situation? These were the kind of questions that I wanted to answer. My analysis served as a basis for a excel spreadsheet where I got all those calculations made. I would share this excel spreadsheet, but I don't know how to do it in this forum. For instance, if a Hexblade/Bladebard attacks (+12 static attack modifier from +5 Cha, +1 magic weapon and +6 Prof Bonus) a target that has a AC 25 (13+ for a hit and 20 for a crit) with a improved pact longbow (4,5 mean variable damage + 6 static damage modifier - +5 from Cha and +1 from magic), his avg dmg per attack is 4,43. If he attacks with Hexblade's Curse (HBC), his avg dmg per attack is 7,05 If he attack with Hex (H), his avg dmg per attack is 6,00 If with H and HBC, it's 8,80 If with H, HBC and combat advantage (CAdv), it's 14,32 If with H, HBC and elven accuracy (ElvAcc), its 17,85 If with H, HBC, ElvAcc and Bardic Inspiration (BI) (d10), its 21,48 If with H, HBC, ElvAcc, BI (d10) and Blade Flourish (BF) (d10), it's 28,28 If with H, HBC, ElvAcc, BI (d10), BF (d10) and Sharp Attack (SA) (-5 and +10), it's 32,41 It's for these kind of calculations that I made the analysis shown in the first post. I wanted to be sure of the odds and avg results instead of making a more or less educated guess. [/QUOTE]
