A 1 point difference = 1 less hit every 20 attacks, right?Well, every single attack a battle cleric makes deals decent damage as well as buff.If you're dragging PPs into this, heck, I love hitroll so much my cleric MCs Fighter to get into Kensei (though he'll have to get rid of the javelin, then) ... and since he's a fighter anyway, power swap for come and get it. Yes, that means battle clerics are 'selfish' leaders. Glory hogs.A charge-brand build deals what, D12 + 10 + D8 + D6 ... 24.5 average? Probably a bit miscalculated. But it's done with a charge. Additional +1 to hit.Oh, by the way, have +5 to hit this guy. And that's in heroic tier.Eventually, a landed brand = "hey you, unless you roll a 1, you hit"</blockquote>
