[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9840745, member: 6906980"] Over the course of a single attack you may not notice, you're likely to notice over the course of a session. But over an entire combat, session, or over multiple? It will be noticeable. Looking at actual DPR which includes chance to hit and the damage done. The PC with a 20 is doing almost double damage every single round. You can tell a lot of stories with how you represent the results. You can also ignore that if one barbarian starts with a 20 in their strength the can take feats or add to other ability scores - in my example the barbarian with the better stats had significantly better AC, initiative, attack and damage with bows as well as higher HP. But don't let actual results get in your way when you can make it look insignificant with statistics. Ability scores matter. If they didn't we would just ignore them. [/QUOTE]
