[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5068505, member: 67338"] can someone please tell me where this idea that an 18=typical comes from? It isn't in any book, and it isn't what I have seen in LFR, heck bith lable 16 as avrage and typical... just becuse I now feel I must I will break down the combat math... 1st level 16 attack stat and a +2 prof weapon Vs AC, or a IMp Vs Nads Monster AC 15 or Nads 13... both need 10's to hit Solder (AKA really tough sob) monster 17AC or 13 Nads... the weapon weilder now needs a 12... 5th level increase attack stat at 4th level and have a +2 weapon or implment (still +2 prof) attack bonus +9 Vs AC (19-21) or +7 Vs Nads (17) 11th level Increase attack stat at 8th and 11th now you have a 19, have a +3 item attack bonus +14Vs AC (25-27) or +12 Vs NADs (23) [sblock=your swordmage]1st level 14 attack stat and a +3 prof weapon(longsword) Vs AC, or a IMp Vs Nads Monster AC 15 or Nads 13...
