[QUOTE="Ark the Pie King, post: 7100045, member: 6874479"] So if my math is right, at level 3 swinging a 1-handed sword (back to one handed again, ho hum) I'll be doing 1d8+3(cha)+2(Hexblade's curse)+3(burning hex)+1d6(Hex spell) totaling out at 1d8+1d6+8(with curse) 1d8+1d6+3(no curse), and then Cha to another enemy with Green-Flame Blade. Is that...sorta low? I dunno, maybe I'm misunderstanding the fundamental math of the game but that seems awfully low to me. Now it will go up pretty significantly at level 4 because I'll get my cha up to 18 and I'll be multi-classing into Fighter for the Dueling fighting style which will bump my damage to 1d8+1d6+12(with curse) total, 1d8+1d6+6(no curse) without. I dunno. It just seems underwhelming, but maybe that's normal? I don't really have a baseline to compare anything to here so I'm kind of just guessing. [/QUOTE]
