[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 4637608, member: 14506"] This is an interesting statistical case to look at. 5 party members over 5 rounds do 25 attacks, hit 12.5 times and if you assume that each of two fighters, a cleric, a rogue, and a wizard do average damage. Level 1- Fighter (2 handed) 1d10+4 9.5 Fighter (sword and shield) 1d8+4 8.5 Cleric 1d8+4 8.5 Rogue 1d6+4 7.5 (+7 for sneak attack) Wizard 2d4+4 9 9.5 + 8.5 +8.5 + 7.5(+7 sneak attack) + 9 +10(average damage for group) +10(average damage for group) = 70 damage 5 level 1 goblins have 29*5=145 This combat will easily take at least 10 rounds and likely more considering all of the various effects you noted. Dropping dailies and encounter powers during this combat would do an extra die or two of damage but half of them would miss. So my guess would if dailies and encounters were used it might increase damage to +20 maybe and that is a big maybe. So it might take 7 or 8 rounds to drop the 5 goblins with dropping the daily and encounter powers. Level 11- More variables here but I would suspect that it is similar the only difference is you have more encounter and daily powers to drop so you can increase damage by dropping these. Githzerai soldier have 108*5HP, 540 damage in five rounds (12.5 attacks) seems like a lot of damage. Level 21- This probably continues a trend of critters outpacing hp to damage. [/QUOTE]
