[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 7235377, member: 71699"] Strength 20, wins about 80% of Shield Master checks against expected Athletics of +5 Second foe is within 5' of first about half the time Sneak Attack condition is met 90% of the time Sentinel trigger is valid 50% of the time (I'm sure this high-balls it, but let's say foe randomly choose to attack us half the time, which implies we [I]always[/I] have one ally near us) Sentinel or Riposte Sneak Attack conditions are met 90% of the time If anything those are optimistic, but we're talking about only a few points +/- anyway. About [B][COLOR=#FF0000]70[/COLOR][/B] expected damage dealt per turn. Superiority die expenditure looks fine. [B]Green Flame Blade[/B] is about [B][COLOR=#FF0000]60% stronger [/COLOR][/B]than [B]GWM[/B] and [B]PHB SS/CEx[/B]... I'm going to go out on a limb and say that chiefly goes to show that 5e splatbooks continue the fine tradition of 3e ;) [/QUOTE]
