[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 4796836, member: 67338"] Inless you are a warlord specilizing in giveing other people attacks... Ok, so you chose what feat to complair it to...easy to make an argument that way isn;t it...try compairing it to rit caster, toughness, and frost touched...or how about backstabber. so you just show witch of two feats are better, way to go it is a great start...how many feats left to go??? makes them more accurat and with it more damaging...but what if my character is accurat enough and does enough damage without it...can't I choose to tak another feat to round out my character in a diffrent way. ESPEACIALY if I am not the striker of the party... ok for everyone that likes running numbers lets see how your numbers handle this little fact: [sblock=numbers for the number crunchers] The whole game is NOT just about your numbers. Expertise helps you 1 in 20 times from 1st to 15th, then 2 in 20 till 25th then 3 in 20 till 30. lets say that you avarage 7 out of 10 encounters are combat that matter in a major way, and it takes an avrage of 10 encounters to level, and each encounter avrages 11 attacks (that is every other one getting the AP). so about 77 attacks per level, lets round that up to 100 just for ease of numbers, and to acount for aoe and double strike people. 1500 attacks at +1, then 1000 attacks at +2 and 1000 attacks at +3 so 75 times at +1, 100 times at +2, and 150 times at +3 on avrage 325 times out of 3500 attacks this feat will affect. So you will hit about 11% more often. So if you play over 30 levels, taking about 2 games to each level, and gaming once a week it will take over a year of gameing (60 games/weeks). So on avrage that is 5 to six attacks per game that this will effect, or about 1 per encounter. [/sblock] yea that looks so impressive now doesn't it... [/QUOTE]
