[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7641118, member: 15700"] So I’m doing a bunch of data analysis of fighter comparisons through the editions. But I need help because I’m not that familiar with 4e, and want a fair and accurate comparison (I’m looking at the books, but since I’m not that familiar, I’ll probably miss something). What I’m looking for are the following, broken down for each level: Avg HP Typical AC Typical To hit bonus Avg typical damage per round Assumptions for each edition: str 16, dex 12, con 14. Long sword and shield build. What’s throwing me off the most is looking at powers and how that impacts damage. At level 1, there are dailys to add 3W+str +con damage, and others that do 2W plus those two ability scores, and at wills that add extra damage, etc. so broken out on an average attack (factoring X amount of encounters per day that last Y amount of rounds each), would it be fair to say that on average, a fighter at level 1 can do 2W + str for each attack? Oh! What about the extra d8? So 2W+d8+STR? And what about other higher levels? See, this is why I need help to be fair lol. 3e has been a chore by itself, so admittedly the combination of not knowing the system and seeing all of the options makes trying to do the 4e build for each level extremely daunting.
