[QUOTE="kapars, post: 9026202, member: 7034730"] Having done the math it looks like a Level 10 fighter attacking with a d12 weapon will have: +12 to attack (+6 weapon master, +4 from STR, + 2 from 3-6 talent They will have an average of 14.5 damage: 6.5 from d12 weapon +6 from weapon mastery +2 from 3-6 talent roll against a level 10 Chimaera with 16 AC they have a 85% chance to hit for 12.325 damage per round. In comparison a Ranger would have a +6 to attack and 8.5 average damage if they roll a d12 weapon and the 3-6 talent twice. That’s a 55% chance to hit the Chimaera doing merely 4.675 damage per round. They are basically reliant on using Foebane and assuming they have it in place before combat they are doing 8.5 ish with that d12 weapon rolling d12 with advantage for 10.5 average damage and hitting at just about 80% for a damage per round of 8.4 This gives them between 38% and 68% of the Fighters weapon combat performance. I’ll leave it up to others to decide if the rest of their kit makes up for it, but the fact that it’s this swingy suggest variable play experiences. Just wanted to leave some benchmarks here for designing other classes [/QUOTE]
