<blockquote data-quote="Truename" data-source="post: 4997803" data-attributes="member: 78255">Taking InitiativeI've added initiative rolls to the basic simulation. This has hurt the dwarf's survivability even more--down another 22%, to 43% (from 55%).I only have one more core element to add to the sim: action points. Hopefully that will raise the dwarf's survivability a bit.Here are the new results with initiative order included:Dwarf Fighter vs. Soldier[sblock=Combatants][code]Dwarf Fighter:&nbsp; Stats: HP 27; AC 17;

[QUOTE="Truename, post: 4997803, member: 78255"] [b]Taking Initiative[/b] I've added initiative rolls to the basic simulation. This has hurt the dwarf's survivability even more--down another 22%, to 43% (from 55%). I only have one more core element to add to the sim: action points. Hopefully that will raise the dwarf's survivability a bit. Here are the new results with initiative order included: [B]Dwarf Fighter vs. Soldier[/B] [sblock=Combatants] [code] Dwarf Fighter: Stats: HP 27; AC 17; Surges 10 Initiative Bonus: +2 Powers: Brute Strike: Daily * Reliable Standard Action Attack: 1d20+7 vs. AC Hit: 6d6[brutal 1]+6 damage Steel Serpent Strike: Encounter Standard Action Attack: 1d20+7 vs. AC Hit: 4d6[brutal 1]+6 damage Reaping Strike: At-Will Standard Action Attack: 1d20+7 vs. AC Hit: 2d6[brutal 1]+6 damage Miss: 4 damage Dwarven Resilience: Encounter Minor Action Effect: Spend a healing surge and regain 6 hit points.
