For example, the 7.5 average damage vs. 24 hit points level 1 PC using inherent bonuses jumps up to either 8.5 (or 9.5 damage with a feat) versus the 32 hit points level 2 NPC, but doesn't gain any more damage at level 3 versus the 40 hit points level 3 NPC.The monster hit points start outpacing the increased damage for the non-striker roles per level. This gets offset by having strikers in the party and by increased power, utility, and synergy of higher level powers.</blockquote>
