[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1619565, member: 5777"] sorry all, I just wanted to run through some numbers ;) fun times right? 16th level character, 260k gp For a 16th level character (the first level where the sword would get 4 attacks in a round) I'll make a little comparison. (str 22, weapon focus) One character has a dancing weapon (+1, dancing) and a +5 weapon as his primary. (both greatswords) First round, he releases his dancing weapon and it attacks 4 times. I'll use a fairly low ac for the enemy, AC 25. The dancing weapon attacks four times. +17/+12/+7/+2, against AC 25 this means: .65*8 + .4*8 + .15*8 + .05*8 = 1.25*8 = 10 damage Second round - Fourth round Full attack from the character = +28/+23/+18/+13 (2d6+14, avg 21) = .95*21 + .9*21 + .65*21 + .4*21 = 60.9 Dancing weapon attacks = 10 damage Total damage from the dancing weapon = 40 Total damage from the character = 182.7 Total damage overall = 222.7 Total gp cost = 100k Second character, differerent weapon. +5, energy X (str 22, weapon focus), damage = 2d6+14+d6, avg = 24.5 First round Move up, swing. .95*24.5 = 23.275 Second through fourth rounds .95*24.5 + .9*24.5 + .65*24.5 + .4*24.5 = 71.05 Total damage from the character = 236.425 Total gp cost = 72k So, for spending 28k less he does 13.725 more damage ;) And that is without any real major equipment or feat investment. now it is late, so maybe I made some math errors.. anyone see anything blatant?
