[QUOTE="tobiasosir, post: 5466927, member: 98357"] Must have been my rolls...your analysis is right, but I seemed to roll lower than a 9 more often than not. Maybe it's time for a new die ;) That's nice to hear. I'm really very new to D&D, and thought I was missing something...but after playing with the CB for a week, I can't seem to get above +10. If that's usual for this level, I'm fine. Good advice on what to target, too...with the fighter, it was always AC, but now I've got two different defenses to think about. Never really thought about it before, so I'll have to start playing closer attention. Thanks! That makes sense; I didn't think of it that way. Damage is great, especially for a striker, but if i don't hit I don't damage! Plus my FoB is going to be minimum 9 damage per round if I hit, so I'd better make sure I hit...the +10 plus combat advantage should take care of that I guess. One of the big questions for me was if I should take Dwarven Weapon Training. I like the versatility of weapons it allows me and the +2 damage, but I could probably use the feat for something better like weapon extertise or something that helps with combat advantage. But... Why is this? As a typical Monk power, it's irellevant because the damage is standard; as a MBA, I have a +13 to attack and +8 damage, and even with the Runepriest power I have (multiclassed) I deal 1D8 with the same bonuses. Without taking a feat for weapon proficiency, that's just as powerful as my other options. If I did take DWT, i could use some nice d12 weapons, but otherwise, Unarmed seems good to me...but again, I'm new at this, I may be missing something! [/QUOTE]
