[QUOTE="RulesJD, post: 6889558, member: 6808367"] Again, please read my post. ~4.3 average across the d20 spectrum. When adjusted that 1s are auto-fails and 20s are auto-succeeds, the value of Advantage/Disadvantage is ~+-5 when doing to-hit rolls (no auto fail/succeed at saves/ability checks). Again, you're arguing with math here, not me. It's not a bad thing to admit you're wrong and learned something new, I do it quite often. Next, there is a VERY IMPORTANT addition that people are missing. The 2nd best feature of being a barbarian is heavily in favor of the Totem Barbarian, specifically Bear. Everyone agrees that a Bear Barbarian is going to outlast any other barbarian significantly, especially a Frenzy barb after an exhaustion level or two. That means a Bear barb is going to be using Reckless Attack significantly more often, especially against enemies with non-BPS damage riders (aka most over CR10), like poison. Reckless Attack = biggest DPR boost in the game when combo'd with GWM. So the damage numbers (especially with PAM) skew even more heavily towards to the Bear barb when you factor that they'll be using Reckless significantly more often due to their ability to last longer before 0hp.
