Stochastic is a complicated field and doubling the number doesn`t do the trick to simulate rolling twice. Rolling twice won`t double the damage I deliver due to repeated attacks but rather up my additional damage by ~80%. Thbat`s only 20% less damage but these 20% are what I lack. See my explanations below.I´ve just done the maths asuming the following circumstances:-1o rounds of combat using at-will powers- 1/encounter (i.e. every 10 rounds) the enemy will willingly move away from me and trigger my Censure-the rogue has CA 90% of the time(drow rogue, so yes, this is realistic)-I will crit 1/encounter, while he will crit every 2 encountersAfter resolving the maths I am at 21,95 damage per round while our rogue will deliver 33,3 damage per round. So he is rougly delivering 1/3 more damage per round.I would be okay with that but unfortunately for me things only get worse from here on:He has the Spider Assasin PP, which lets him deal an additional d8 of damage when he is hiden from his target, Merciless Killer for +5 damage vs bloodied targets and some gauntlets that give him another +4 damage vs bloodied targets. And he has Bloodthirst as well, since the aforementioned bonusses all stack with that. And let`s please forget what will happen at epic: 2d8 SA, 1d6/1d8 (short sword/x-bow) and Light Blade/X-bow Mastery for him vs 2 points more Censure damage for me and  another d12 for me<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> Guess, epic level scaling is not on my side <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I am basically looking for some advice as how to get the two ends of the damage divide a little closer. I understand that i will not be able to close the gap completely but that`s totally alright because i have better defenses, more HP/Surges and a lot more mobility to make up for that. I am trying not to sound like a whiny little child but you see the maths and get my drift, right?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
