You can do a lot of damage at paragon level with a crit-focused rogue. Our party's Dagger Master would deal somewhere in the neighborhood of 39 + 1d10 + 3d12 if the GM hadn't house ruled that sneak attack doesn't max out on a crit. That's before figuring in multi-[W] strikes and all of his abilities that trigger on a crit (guaranteed combat advantage and an extra attack as a minor action, plus something else I can't remember). My Blood Mage would deal 20 + 3d8 + 2d10 with Blood Pulse and could use the free Action Point to immediately Thuderlance, doing an extra 8d6 + 4d10 + 16 to anything he hits with both. +20 ongoing to anything he hits with the lance.It's definitely not broken, but in combination with others it can be really nice. It's not just an extra action, it also triggers anything that happens on a crit (nice for rangers) and anything that happens when you action point (can be some really nasty stuff with the right party combination).</blockquote>
