[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5307997, member: 16069"] That's it in a nutshell, and at low level that's a great leap forward, particularly noticeable when its the difference between hitting and missing- my point at Paragon Levels the PCs tend to connect a lot, and same PCs- not done the maths as of yet, but hitting is not really the problem- not doing enough damage quickly enough and getting hit back tend to be the problems. As to taking damage, this from the same thread- Total HP damage inflicted by PCs 94 Phrenic (average 3.24/turn) 145 Kaspard (average 2.59/turn) 195 McGyver (average 7.22/turn) 385 Dirty (average 6.88/turn) 475 Grey (average 8.48/turn) 581 Winstanley (average 10.38/turn) Total HP damage absorbed by PCs 70 Kaspard (average 1.25/turn) 74 Winstanley (average 1.32/turn) 90 Grey (average 1.61/turn) 119 McGyver (average 4.41/turn) 125 Phrenic (average 4.31/turn) 220 Dirty (average 3.93/turn) +/- combining the above two set of results. -31 Phrenic (-1.07/turn) +75 Kaspard (+1.34/turn) +76 McGyver (+2.81/turn) +165 Dirty (+2.95/turn) +385 Grey (+6.87/turn) +507 Winstanley (+9.06/turn) That's for Level 1 in total. At the end of KOTS- Total Encounters: 24 (Combat 22, Skill Challenge 1 & Traps 1). Sessions: 6, although the last was very short. Time to play: 1145 Minutes, or 19 hours and 5 minutes. Total Turns spent in Combat: 139. Average Encounter: PC Level +1.55. Total XP from Combat Encounters: 19859. Average # Turns/Encounter: 6.32. Average Time/Encounter: 52.05 or 52 Minutes 3 Seconds. Average Time/Turn: 8.24 or 8 Minutes 14 Seconds. 1) Which PC got attacked the most? Dirty 200 times. (42.5% of all attacks). Phrenic 111 times. (23.6%) Winstanley 59 times. (12.5%) Kaspard 54 times. (11.5%) Grey 46 times. (9.8%) Who'd be a Defender? 2) Which PC got hit the most? Dirty 95 times. (39.1% of all hits). Phrenic 56 times. (23%) Grey 32 times. (13.2%) Kaspard 31 times. (12.8%) Winstanley 29 times. (11.9%) 3) Which PC took the most Hits as a % of Attacks? Grey 69.57% of Attacks were Hits. Kaspard 57.41% Phrenic 50.45% Winstanley 49.15% Dirty 47.5% 4) Which PC did the most Damage in total? Grey 1586 points of damage. Winstanley 1339. Dirty 1216. Kaspard 781. Phrenic 587. So much for the Striker... 5) Which PC took the most Damage in total? Dirty 726. Phrenic 515. Grey 218. Winstanley 182. Kaspard 172. 6) Which PC did the most damage/turn on average? Grey 11.41 points of damage/turn. Winstanley 9.63 Dirty 8.75. Kaspard 5.62. Phrenic 5.24. 7) Which PC took the most damage/turn on average? Dirty 5.22 points of damage/turn. Phrenic 4.6. Grey 1.57. Winstanley 1.31. Kaspard 1.24. 8) Which PC made the most attacks? Grey 251 attacks. Dirty 145. Kaspard 145. Winstanley 132. Phrenic 113. 9) Which PC Hit the most? Grey 166 Hits. Winstanley 100. Kaspard 85. Dirty 80. Phrenic 65. 10a) Best Connection Rate for Attacks. (Minimum 10 Attacks) 93.33% Winstanley Deft Strike. 81.25% Winstanley Positioning Strike. 72.53% Winstanley Sly Flourish. 70.37% Grey Scorching Burst. 69.57% Grey Fire Shroud. 68.18% Kaspard Turn Undead. 66.67% Dirty Charge Maul. & Phrenic Leaf on the Wind. 65.22% Kaspard Sacred Flame. 63.64% Grey Ray of Frost. 62.22% Grey Burning Hands. 60.61% Phrenic Viper's Strike. 60% Dirty Reaping Strike. & Grey Magic Missile. 58.62% Dirty Cleave. 57.89% Kaspard Lance of Faith. 57.14% Dirty Brute Strike. 54.55% Phrenic Scorching Blast. 50% Dirty Spinning Sweep. 36.36% Dirty AoO Maul. & Kaspard Healing Strike. 10b) Best Connection Rate for Attacks (same table). (Minimum 25 Attacks) 72.53% Winstanley Sly Flourish. 70.37% Grey Scorching Burst. 65.22% Kaspard Sacred Flame. 62.22% Grey Burning Hands- 45 Attacks rolled. 60.61% Phrenic Viper's Strike- 33 Attacks rolled. 60% Dirty Reaping Strike- 35 Attacks rolled. & Grey Magic Missile- 45 Attacks rolled. 58.62% Dirty Cleave- 29 Attacks rolled. 54.55% Phrenic Scorching Blast- 33 Attacks rolled. 10c) Best Connection Rate for Attacks (same table again).

Pretty dependent on only a few attack modes? 11) Overall PC Connection Rate Winstanley 75.76% Grey 66.14% Kaspard 58.62% Phrenic 57.52% Dirty 55.17% 12) Which PC used the most Action Points? 15 Dirty & Winstanley. 12 Grey. 11 Kaspard. 8 Phrenic. 13) Which PC used the most Healing Surges in Combat? 33 Dirty. 24 Phrenic. 9 Grey. 7 Winstanley. 4 Kaspard. 13) Which PC used the most Daily Powers? 12 Dirty. 10 Winstanley. 6 Phrenic. 5 Kaspard. 3 Grey. 14) Which PC was reduced to 0 HP or less the most? 3 Phrenic. 2 Dirty & Winstanley. 1 Grey. 0 Kaspard. 15) Which PC rolled the most Crits? 12 Dirty. 6 Winstanley. 5 Phrenic. 2 Grey. 1 Kaspard. Who'd be a Fighter, you get hit all the time, you hit less than you think you should (and all the other PCs) and when you miss you have bugger all else to do... You spend Action Points and Dailies more than anyone else just to get a chance to make more hits and/or stay alive. In-game Dirty is our favourite character- he does that thing, he's played mean and surly, and nasty; and he takes everything that's thrown at him. Cheers Goonalan [/QUOTE]
