It's hard for designers to think of all the loopholes.Think of it this way: we stress test the rules, then ask questions, and then they try and fix the loopholes. Of course we'd prefer there were no loopholes in the first place, but D&D is such a complicated system that loopholes and rules problems will always be there.Camarath, regards running the other numbers - maybe we'll see if I'm motivated with spare time tomorrow. It's fairly easy to do with Excel or some other spreadsheet. Here's how you do it:Put the target AC in a spreadsheet cell, say A1.Put a list of your attack bonuses in a column. Let's assume you have the first one in cell B1, and we're ignoring criticals. Your chance to hit is:IF(21-($A$1-B1)>1, IF(21-($A$1-B1)<19, (21-($A$1-B1))/20,0.95)),0.05)$A$1 says keep the reference fixed on A1 as we copy and paste this cell to B2, B3, etc.Then in column C put in the average damge values.Make column D have in D1 for example D1=C1*B1.Then at the bottom in column D, put SUM(D1 : D8), if there are 8 attacks for example. That sum gives you the total average damage per round.</blockquote>
