<blockquote data-quote="Truename" data-source="post: 5009963" data-attributes="member: 78255">I've changed the builds to use the first array Mengu suggested (except where otherwise stated) and I ran the Expertise, Plate Armor, and Durable sims. I've also improved the fidelity of the model a lot, as you can see if you look at the character sheets. This shouldn't change the results, but it makes it easier for me to try alternate builds and it lays the groundwork for more enhancements in the future.A couple of interesting things about these results. First, feats seem to be an important part of the balance of the game. I think they're the &quot;nudge&quot; button WoTC pushes to get everything closely balanced. That theory's supported by the way WoTC releases feats--they seem to use them to patch holes in particular race/class/build/playstyle combinations, which explains some of the highly-specific feats out there.The problem with this approach is that it seems like it makes it easier to create a sub-par character: to patch the holes, you have to figure out which feats (out of over 1500!) are designed for your build and playstyle. The Character Builder helps, but does it help enough?One thing that surprised me was that the imbalance shown in the baseline builds (with no feats) goes away even if both characters select the same feat. Compare the baseline runs to the Expertise and Plate Armor runs.(It's possible I made a mistake somewhere. It'd be good to double-check the character sheets.)The exception to this is the Durable feat. It's just not that useful in the one-on-one scenario we're testing. Survivability is pretty much the same with or without that feat. I don't think it's necessarily the feat that's the problem, though--our scenario is limited in how it triggers healing surges, and the dwarves just don't run out that easily.Here are the results:[sblock=PCs<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"&nbsp;

[QUOTE="Truename, post: 5009963, member: 78255"] I've changed the builds to use the first array Mengu suggested (except where otherwise stated) and I ran the Expertise, Plate Armor, and Durable sims. I've also improved the fidelity of the model a lot, as you can see if you look at the character sheets. This shouldn't change the results, but it makes it easier for me to try alternate builds and it lays the groundwork for more enhancements in the future. A couple of interesting things about these results. First, feats seem to be an important part of the balance of the game. I think they're the "nudge" button WoTC pushes to get everything closely balanced. That theory's supported by the way WoTC releases feats--they seem to use them to patch holes in particular race/class/build/playstyle combinations, which explains some of the highly-specific feats out there. The problem with this approach is that it seems like it makes it easier to create a sub-par character: to patch the holes, you have to figure out which feats (out of over 1500!) are designed for your build and playstyle. The Character Builder helps, but does it help enough? One thing that surprised me was that the imbalance shown in the baseline builds (with no feats) goes away even if both characters select the same feat. Compare the baseline runs to the Expertise and Plate Armor runs. (It's possible I made a mistake somewhere. It'd be good to double-check the character sheets.) The exception to this is the Durable feat. It's just not that useful in the one-on-one scenario we're testing. Survivability is pretty much the same with or without that feat. I don't think it's necessarily the feat that's the problem, though--our scenario is limited in how it triggers healing surges, and the dwarves just don't run out that easily.
