[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 7235439, member: 71699"] I wouldn't like anyone to assume a - *cough* - [I]precision[/I], that isn't warranted. Double-checking superiority die expenditure, GFB is expending 1 or 2 per combat, and SS/GWM are expending 3 or 4. When we pull the latter back they shed a couple of points. A bigger reduction is that I neglected to account for the fact that a Riposte is only available to GFB when the foe [I]misses[/I]. Revised SS uses 2 or 3 per combat. With that, and correcting superiority die expenditure, we have GWM = [B][COLOR=#FF0000]~43[/COLOR][/B] PHB SS = [B][COLOR=#FF0000]~40[/COLOR][/B] Revised SS = [B][COLOR=#FF0000]~32[/COLOR][/B] GFB = [B][COLOR=#FF0000]~62[/COLOR][/B] [I]corrected so Riposte is only upon foe missing[/I] At this point we get a clear sense that PHB SS is too strong compared with melee. Revised SS is about right against GWM, based on a 1.3 factoring. And I personally feel that GWM defines the edge of correct balance. It's about precisely (heh) where it should be.
