[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5559179, member: 67338"] Lets take a look at some more... lets say challangeing end guys... lowest ac 44...highest 52 lowest Nads 39 highest Nads 51... lets take the new book of shadows... Lets say i want to play a bad guy and kill Bahamut... is that enough of a challange? Ok, lets start with an 18 attack stat, and an accurate implment...and go for demi god (If I am takeing on a god I might want to take his power higlander syle) +9 stat +6 magic +1 accurate imp+15 half level +31 to hit...since this is an implment attack i will be targeting a NAD... so I need Vs Fort 16, Vs Ref 14 Vs Will 16... So a Volakya Vampire at 30th level without expertise can take on the biggest monster in the game needing a 14-16 to hit. Now if I take expertise... that becomes 11-13 :eek: If I flank without expertise it is 12-14 If I flank with expertise it is 9-11 :confused: Please...I am begging you...tell me I am miss doing this math...becuse the biggest baddest monster in the game (the only level 36 and it is a soldier) by something people are calling a bad striker... who is 6 levels lower then it...can hit it without expertsie... so there is math with and without expertise... but what happens when he faces an equal level (insted of 1 level higher then lev+5) like that pitfiend from the top of the post... without expertise +31 to hit...since this is an implment attack i will be targeting a NAD... so I need Vs Fort 12, Vs Ref 8 Vs Will 10... if I have combat advantage and target ref... I only miss 25% of the time... that is crazy... Put a warlord with that vampire and I think Bahamut will cry... [/QUOTE]
