[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8150900, member: 93670"] Sometimes I wish there were a :rolleyes: reaction. I actually lowballed the numbers for you by giving the 5e rfighter a +2 in some stat other than strength to start with only a 15str. I'm not sure how you can read a post showing that the addition of magic items to 5e's bounded accuracy expedites the breakdown & collapse of the core d20ish engine because bounded accuracy is tuned in a bizarre paradox of no magic items no feats and claim that it somehow shows bounded accuracy is doing good things when the whole point of ba was to extend the range of workable levels. You can say that the "biggest bonus you should be seeing at tier one is a +2" but 15+2 is obtainable by nearly every race at level 1 & with an asi at 4 you can bump that to 19 for +4 on top of the +2 proficiency bonus for a total of +6. That wasn't some super secret ninja punpun combo to put a 15 & strength & pick a race or use tasha's that lets you add a racial+2 to strength. If the fighter were optimized he only needs a 9 to hit with a mundane +0 weapon compared to the 3.5 optimized fighter's 12 under those under geared. conditions the +2 weapon your suggesting is suitable for a tier one character like that brings it to an absurd seven.
