Current 4th Edition Rules and my House RulesIncrease 2 abilities by +1 every 5 levels.Increase all abilities by +1 at 11th and 21st level.If a character has a natural 18 constitution and adds +8 at 30th level then the character has a maximum possible constitution of 26. Add 12 hit points for every fighter level to 30th and that is a maximum of potential hit points of 360+26=386 maximum hit points.Another 30th level character that does maximum damage could reduce 386 hit points in 5 moves. Which means we need powers that can do 77 points of damage in 1 turn.That means a 1d12 weapon should do 6[w] at 30th level -- 6d12+26(if the strength modifier is maxed)+15(1/2 of 30th level)=113 possible points damage.So powers should do +1[w] every 5 levels to reduce combat time. Many powers are listed as 2[w] at 11th and 3[w]. I think those powers are too weak. Also, a fighter type should be able to attack adjacent targets at higher levels during one standard action if spell casters can attack multiple targets with burst at higher levels.</blockquote>
