However, your system also has some negatives. It penalizes PCs in Heroic levels (i.e. below the average) and rewards them in Epic levels (i.e. above the average) whereas it should be the opposite way.The following chart illustrates this. Longsword, Level 1 18 stat, average AC foe same level, magic weapon boost at typical levels 3, 6, 11, 16, 21, and 26:[ATTACH]40436[/ATTACH]Series 1 is +1 at 5/15/25 and Series 2 is at 11/15/21/25.In Heroic tier, Series 1 has 2 7s (7.8 average) whereas Series 2 has 4 9s (8.4 average).In Paragon tier, they are identical (8.2 average).In Epic tier, Series 1 has 6 9s (8.6 average) whereas Series 2 has 4 7s (7.6 average).The reason to have Epic level be slightly harder to hit is because of the how many more synergies there are at Epic levels than Heroic levels. Instead, your system has Epic level being much easier to hit than Heroic level before counting any synergies.</blockquote>
