So after the first session in KOTS- Dirty (Dwarf Fighter 1); Kaspard (Half-Elf Cleric 1); Grey (Human Wizard 1); McGyver (Dragonborn Paladin 1) & Winstanley (Halfling Rogue 1)- all Pregen characters. Most effective (hit rate) PC attacks to date, criteria minimum 5 attacks made- 40% Dirty's AoO Maul (2 hits from 5 attacks) for 22 damage in total- 11 average. 40% Dirty's Brute Strike (2 hits from 5 attacks) for 50 damage in total- 25 average. 50% Dirty's Charge (4 hits from 8 attacks) for 43 damage in total- 10.75 average. 50% Kaspard's Lance of Faith (4 hits from 8 attacks) for 30 damage in total- 7.5 average. 53.85% Grey's Scorching Burst (7 hits from 13 attacks) for 43 damage in total- 6.14 average. 54.55% Grey's Magic Missile (6 hits from 11 attacks) for 60 damage in total- 10 average. 60% Kaspard's Sacred Flame (6 hits from 10 attacks) for 39 damage in total- 6.5 average. 66.67% McGyver's Dragon Breath (6 hits from 9 attacks) for 28 damage in total- 4.67 average. 69.23% Grey's Burning Hands (9 hits from 13 attacks) for 98 damage in total- 10.89 average. 78.57% Winstanley's Sly Flourish (11 hits from 14 attacks) for 154 damage in total- 14 average. 80% McGyver's Valiant Strike (8 hits from 10 attacks) for 73 damage in total- 9.13 average. 100% Winstanley's Deft Strike (5 hits from 5 attacks) for 63 damage in total- 12.6 average. Note Dirty has not made 5 attacks with any of his At Will powers so far, he tends to go headlong with the Charge.
