I'm pretty impressed by this response.

Anyhow, I wouldn't call the FB "weak sauce," but there are more reliable alternatives.

Now that Bo9S is in play a lot of those broken damage numbers from 4 years ago look pretty tame.

That's it. I quit."

HAhahahahahah

The only practical Bo9S high damage combo I can think of requires you to full attack the same enemy two rounds in a row, with very minimal payoff if you can't get the second full attack in (actually, I suppose I forgot about some of the TWF abilities, but those seem equally situational). On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the FB was responsible for at least a damage record with the ubercharger for a while, before stuff like the Hulking Hurler and Chuck were discovered. Oh, and Druids make up some of the best melee combatants with Bite of the Werebear .

Well 108 dmg on lvl 10 isnt that much anyway.

IMHO the main broken thing about an FB is infinite hit points, rather than damage output. That's the bit which has stayed broken across the years.

FBs can't do much besides hit things while frenzying. Just solid fog them, and drop some area spells on the fog. Then wait for frenzy to end.

People get way to caught up in the numbers but D&D is like a complicated game of rock, paper, scissors. There is always something out that trumps what you are doing if needed.

A game of rock-paper-scissors with the added dynamite option of magic, and the only thing that trumps it is more magic. Just to be accurate .

And gods. They tend to trump magic, until it gets epic.

Even then, Lord Ao awaits those who seek power without His glorious approval.
