[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7812344, member: 6987520"] So, I had the time, coded the fight, and ran 10,000 trials each for AC 23, 22, 21, and 20. Here are the results: [B]"HERO" 20th-level Fighter[/B] AC: 23 (Plate mail +1, Shield +1, Defense Style +1) HP: 225 (10 + 19 * 5 + 100 + 20) STR 20, CON 20 Feats: Heavy Armor Mastery, Mobile, Tough, Shield Master, Durable, Savage Attacker, ASI 3 (+3 STR, +3 CON) No. of Attacks: 4 Attack: +12 (Prof +6, STR +5, longsword +1) Damage: 1d8+8 (STR +5, Dueling Style +2, longsword +1) Critical on: 18-20 Survivor feature: +10 hp when hp < 112 [B]100 "Guards" with shortbows[/B] AC: 14 (Chain shirt, DEX +1) HP: 11 (2d8+2) Attack: +3 (Prof +2, DEX +1) Damage: 1d6+1 (DEX +1) Critical on: 20 [B]RESULTS[/B]: AC 23: HERO wins 99.75% AC 22: HERO wins 48.75% AC 21: HERO wins 7.50% AC 20: HERO wins 3.60% HERO front loads Action Surge, uses Second Wind when below 80 hp. With Speed 40, it is assumed he can move and use his Attack action for a full 4 attacks each round. So, not surprisingly, with minimal magic items (+1 armor, shield, sword), the HERO wins nearly 100%. For 20th-level, I would consider that VERY low magic. Only in a NO-magic game, would the HERO really fear 100 bowmen. And, the 20th-level Wizard would never lose. Ever. Period. End of Story. :) [/QUOTE]
