[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6719492, member: 67338"] OK, I'll bite. I will start by saying I in no way think the rogue is weak, and that taking any 1 part of a class for comparison does have it's flaws... yes and no, it only peels into one layer of the class, it's damage... accuracy involves many variables including luck... I have sat and watched 3.5 fighters (kings of accuracy) with ungodly str scores and 3 attack roll 1,2,2 and miss all three attacks, and I have watched in my current 5e game were our 8 str bard/assassin is basicly superman, and is yet to miss a str save or check.... (at 5th level he didn't want to try the str check 13 to unstick a door after the fighter failed, but decided to be funny and rolled a 15... over the last 30ish games it has become a running joke his superhuman str) ok, let me explain a bit more then. I understand average damage will in the longrun come out, but in a given session or even a month or two of sessions it isn't enough rolls to bend toward the average. well 1/2 of the sneak attack is just an adjacent ally... in those cases no adv antage, just assume those numbers if it makes you feel better +5 cha and +1 froma magic item (implemtn) where is the d6 from? edit: OK, I remembered hex after I submitted this... the warlock in our group misses his concentration check (with advantage and a +3 con) all the time and never keeps it for more then 2 hits...
