[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7641150, member: 82504"] Just to make your stats harder to compare the 4e a fighter can do much more damage depending on whether the enemy pays attention to his mark or ignores it. If they ignore it then depending on choices the fighter can be closer to a striker in damage its quite significant difference. And it depends on how many enemies he gets adjacent rather like a wizard depends on how clumped the enemy is does a lot more damage. Level one has the fewest adjustments but even then. So you look at a power that allows him to rush across the battle and mark enemies as he goes and you think well how does that contribute to his damage... it definitely can. Are you comparing Nova ability not just average for instance the controllable Nova (not random fluke) is higher in 4e I would bet than many editions too. A 4e character is comparable at level 1 to a 5e character at level 5 in broad general terms and each two levels after that in 4e are only 1 in 5e. This is based on the tier flavor text but also a few other things. If you want to compare comparable level between the editions I suggest perhaps Name Level from 1e and 2e to Paragon Level (in 4e and 5e) Don't bother comparing a level 1, 4e character to levels under 4 or maybe 5 its pretty much not meant to.
