Yeah Ovi, I think it remains a roughly fair comparison. Because the people claiming the rogue lags behind the fighter damage are not talking about 1 point per round at low levels and 5 points at level 20. They're talking about really quite meaningful differences. 5 hit points a round at level 20? Nobody cares Ovi (or nobody should care if they're not being extremely pedantic.)No, you kinda aren't, which is my point. His choices inflate the use of multiple dice -- the more your dice roll, the more free increase in output you get. The difference goes from +1/2 a point at level 1 sneak attack to +5 points at level 20. That's a free boost because of his choice of rounding. Again, if I compare a d12 to 3d4, the averages due to TM's method are 6 vs 9, respectively. Using 3d4 gets you 3 free points on the same baseline.
I also don't even think you're correct in your assumption (he's using the rounded averages to talk about it for ease of communication, but not in his actual charts when you look at the charts which do go out to large decimal digits using an excel spreadsheet like everyone else) but I can't even be bothered to "prove" that to you because it's an incredibly pedantic and unhelpful issue to the topic to begin with.
