[QUOTE="nightspaladin, post: 3806567, member: 55206"] Did some math on a 20th level fighter with a longsword versus a balor. just picked balor out of my head as the typical super villian AC 35 Fighter in 3.5 25 strength +8 +5 Sword +5 Greater Weapon Focus +2 +20 Bab +20 total of +35 to hit so the attacks are 35/30/25/20 Assuming average rolls, in this case we will say he rolls a 10 every roll, the first 3 attacks hit. Damage is as follows 1d8 +5 +8 +4(weapon specialization) for 1d8 +17. Average per hit of around 23. So for these 3 hits assume he inflicts 69 points of damage Now let's look at the saga fighter. Same to hit numbers a total of +35 With the triple attack feat he gets 3 attacks at -10 to all, so they go to +25/+25/+25. assuming he gets 10 on each roll as before, he also hits three times. Look at the damage change though 1d8 Long Sword +5 Magic +8 Strength +10 Level damage +4 Weapon Spec He does 1d8 +27 a swing, for an average of 33 a shot. He hits for 99 in this volley. 30 Extra points on an average volley. That's not that shabby and these quick characters are by no means optimized for maximum output. [/QUOTE]
