[QUOTE="guachi, post: 7234610, member: 6785802"] I was using an AC of 17 (65% chance of hit). It's the same AC that vonklaude is using in his other calculations. Assumptions: EK 8/Rogue 3 DEX +5 INT +1 rapier Greenflame Blade can hit two targets Sentinel triggers Sneak attack is available on your turn and not-your-turn The final three assumptions are best case scenario, but it's a good place to start! First attack average damage: [COLOR=#FF0000]25.85[/COLOR] Your GFB is active and your Sneak attack triggers if you hit (65%). Second attack average damage: [COLOR=#FF0000]9.42[/COLOR]. No GFB and Sneak attack only triggers if you missed the first time (35%) and hit the second time (65%) Sentinel attack average damage: [COLOR=#FF0000]12.6[/COLOR] No GFB but your Sneak attack will trigger every time you hit (65%). Total Damage: [COLOR=#FF0000]47.9[/COLOR] You have higher mobility and can get into combat faster because of Cunning Action. If you have to bonus action dash to get into range you do give up an extra attack from War Magic, though one attack using GFB is still higher damage than two attacks from using your Attack action (unless GFB [I]can't[/I] hit a second target) If you are so far away you must use a bow and there is no sneak possibility = [COLOR=#FF0000]12.8 DPR[/COLOR]. Sneak possibility because you are hidden = [COLOR=#FF0000]21.45 DPR[/COLOR]. Though you're probably better off dashing instead of hiding so you can get into combat faster. [/QUOTE]
