[FrogReaver]

I think I really need some standardized abbreviations. The level 20 character summaries are getting nasty to type up.

 

[Esker]

Level 2 Human (Magic Initiate) Diviner + Inflict Wounds + Portent

(3 * 5.5) * (1 - (1 - 0.55)^3 + 1 - (1 - 0.05)^2 + (1 - 0.55)^2*0.05)) = 16.8

 

[Esker]

If you're the sort of person who abuses obvious RAW loopholes, the Lucky Paladin dual wielder could drop prone or close their eyes before attacking to induce disadvantage-for-super-advantage...

(3.5+3+3.5+9+9) * (1 - (1 - 0.55)^3) + (3.5+3.5+9+9) * (1 - (1 - 0.05)^3) = 29.0

 

[Esker]

Level 2 Human Hexblade (Magic Initiate) + Hexblade's Curse + Magic Missile: 16.5

 

[FrogReaver]

Level 2 Human Hexblade (Magic Initiate) + Hexblade's Curse + Magic Missile: 16.5

Are you sure that adds per bolt?

 

[Esker]

Are you sure that adds per bolt?

Pretty sure... I think either you roll 1d4+1 three times, and therefore add +2 to each one, or you roll 1d4+1 once, add +2 to that, and that's the damage of each dart.
