[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 4271464, member: 1457"] Hm. How about a Sir Firebelly, Dragonborn paladin, with 20 str, 12 con, 16 wis? He could wield a longsword two-handed, and take Weapon Focus: heavy blade. Each Holy Strike would be at +8, for 1d8 + 10 damage. Encounter power is Radiant Smite at +8, 2d8 + 10 damage. Oh, and he could breath, once, for + 7, 1d6+1. ;p Or, go Stabby the halfling rogue. Dex 20 & Cha 16. Weapon Focus: Dagger. With Sly Flourish, he's at +9, for 1d4 + 9 damage. He doesn't hit as hard as Sir Firebelly, but he hits a bit more often--which means he'll get sneak attack a bit more often. That's gotta help, right? Sly Flourish +9 vs reflex, 1d4 + 9 damage Miss on a 1-4 (0 damage * .20 = 0) Hit on a 5-19 (11.5 damage * .75 = 8.625) Crit on a 20 (13 damage * .05 = .15) Total expected damage per round = 8.775 Five rounds = 42.875 Sly Flourish with Flank +11 vs reflex, 1d4 + 9 + 2d6 damage Miss on a 1-2 (0 damage * .1 = 0) Hit on a 3-19 (18.5 damage * .85 = 15.725) Crit on a 20 (20 damage * .05 = 1) Total expected damage per round = 16.725 Five rounds = 83.625 Total for 10 rounds = 126.5 [b]Death to Mongo![/b] -z PS: the math on Mongo's first challenger, Talisker doesn't quite work out: the multiplier for the normal hit on the flanked attack should be .75, not .85, lowering Talisker's average damage to 15.725.
