[QUOTE="Coronoides, post: 6740320, member: 6801453"] Azure's heated body. Does not effect an area and the DMG p280 is assuming that one foe will be hit per round (inferred from effective DPR increase for Monster). Area/target multiple =1 The Azer can't use it's ability proactively but is not limited to a small number of uses per day so for our purposes is 'at will' so x2. The power does 1d10 (0.79pt) and this amount is allowed at first I make the final cost 1.5pt (rounded from 1.58) However [B]this is wrong![/B] as a reaction it plays havoc on actual DPR almost every round because it is [I]additive[/I] to weapon damage. The price above (1.5pt) assumes that the only damage you are doing in the round is from the power, this is not the case here. [B]The right way is[/B] to treat it as a 'rider' that adds damage to an attack (like the centaur charge). So assuming a 2d6 weapon + 1d10, DPR is 7.5+5.5=13. *The level a DPR 13 attack [U]becomes available is 11th level [/U] but you only pay for 5.5DPR so [U]2.5pt[/U] [/QUOTE]
