[QUOTE="Splart, post: 4391280, member: 12316"] Most excellent work. I was thinking of making a similar chart, but plotting PC level on the X axis instead of AC. AC would be assumed to be 14 + PC level. This would give clear answers on how much damage a certain class does over another one at a particular level, and should show how PCs damage output changes as they level. Ah well. Work for another day. Can you help me understand the critical damages? For starters, what gives the level 1 rogue on line 144 a bonus on crits? Next, let's look at line 129, the Elf Ranger 11 Stormwarden Twin Strike Scimitar 19/22. For his base damage, the damage range is +2 weapon, +1 weapon spec and +1 TWF, and 1d8 weapon damage to give 5 to 12 range. For his crit range, first we give the max 12 damage for crit, then add 2 W since this is a scimitar, a high crit weapon. This is the same as hit base attack, so this adds 2 X ( 5 to 12 ) = 10 to 24. Adding 12 for the crit, we have 22 to 36. Now we also add 2d6 for the frost weapon crit, giving 24 to 48. However, your spreadsheet gives the crit range as 16 to 40. My first guess is that you did not add in the +2 weapon, +2 feats into the 2 W for scimitar. Is that correct? If so, can you let me know why you thought the damage from 2 W would exclude enchantment and feat bonuses? Can you let me know how you did your calculation, or what I missed? --Splart P.S. One high damage combination I didn't see is a rogue who forgoes his paragon path to steal the Ranger At-will of Twin Strike. [/QUOTE]
