The first character is my 25pt buy paladin with a base 15 str because I am part-powergamer. He has weapon focus & has increased his str to 16 at 4th level. The target AC will use the SR calculation of 12+CR and so his target AC will be 19, which ime is about right on average. I will calculate total iterative damage. One example is with a +3 sword (ab +14/+9), another a +2 flaming sword (ab+13/+8), & the last with a +1 flaming burst sword (ab +12/+7). Normally such a weapon is aquired 1+ levels later so there will be some additional distortion.Layout is the following: A = P{D[1+Pc(Mc-1)] + Db}For bonus critical dice I insert: +Bd[Pc(Mc-1)] after the Db & before the closing }where A = average damage per attackP = Probability to hit, as a fractionD = average weapon damage plus Str, Magic, etcPc = Probability to Threaten, as a fractionMc= Critical MultiplierDb = Bonus Damage dice that are not multiplied by a confirmed criticalBd = Bonus die average damage that only occurs on confirmed criticals****+3 sword9.24 = 0.80{10.5[1+0.1(2-1)]}6.3525 = 0.55{10.5[1+0.1(2-1)]}15.5925 = average full attack damage+2 flaming sword10.4625 = 0.75{9.5[1+0.1(2-1)] + 3.5}6.975 = 0.50{9.5[1+0.1(2-1)] + 3.5}17.4375 = average full attack damage+1 flaming burst sword9.38 = 0.70{8.5[1+0.1(2-1)] + 3.5 + (5.5[0.1(2-1)])}  6.03 = 0.45{8.5[1+0.1(2-1)] + 3.5+ (5.5[0.1(2-1)])}  15.41 = average full attack damage****Before blowing any trumpets could someone please confirm my extra critical damage die for the flaming burst sword. It gives the result I think it would but...</blockquote>
