[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8050111, member: 6795602"] Very rough stunning strike analysis for now: When stunning strike lands: 1. Assume the party focuses on the stunned enemy 2. Assume you have a GWF and a Firebolt using Wizard and another character that is attack something else (or using a save targeting cantrip like toll the dead) 3. Assume each character has 60% chance to hit. Advantage will be 84% chance to hit. 4. Assume level 5. 5. Excluding crits for quick calcs 6. Flurry of blows does 7.5 damage per unarmed strike = 4.5 DPR Then party attack damage with flurry of blows = 67.67 = 40.6 DPR Party attack damage when stunning strike lands (assumes on average 1 of the remaining attacks has stunning strike apply) = 46.5 DPR Party damage when stunning strike doesn't land = 36.102 Preliminary conclusion - as long as the party is focus firing then stunning strike is better than a normal flurry of blows. The weighted average damage will be about the same but the enemy will have a chance of being stunned. [/QUOTE]
