[QUOTE="Gladius Legis, post: 7631103, member: 68748"] And yet you spent half your posts fawning over the Paladin's Smites, also a nova ability. And now you're saying it's not practical to include them. You're being inconsistent in your argument. Also, comparing Action Surge to Assassinate is ridiculous. The auto-crit part of Assassinate is very situational and tough to set up in a typical party. Action Surge, on the other hand, you bust it out when you feel it's best to. And you just showed that you have no clue how burst damage affects combat in a given round of a given combat. An Action Surge in Turn 1 that can remove a more dangerous enemy from the battle is going to have much more practical effect than a lucky Rogue crit in Turn 4 when you're mopping up. So?
