[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 4406724, member: 14506"] Oh, ok. In KotS there is a 108HP goblin. Not to mention the others there too (10 minions, 3 shield dudes, a wizard guy, and some skirmishers). This right after, literally the next room after, another big encounter. Hitting him for 1d6 damage is a joke. We had TPK twice on that encounter (except for my rogue that ran away). The DM had some of the characters get knocked out and captured. They escaped, then we went back for revenge and died again. Only on the third try did we wipe them out. I have played that encounter in two groups and it has taken 4+ hours for each group to finish. The first time I thought it was a bug because we had 8 and the DM threw in some more baddies. I told the other DM about my experience, so he instituted a 6 seconds to act or you are delaying rule and it still took 4+ hours. I think that is also a feature. :confused: Hit two at 50% means that you hit one for 1d6+INT. By the way, you are still doing that at 20th level too, the only difference is you have to fight monsters with 300-400+ HP with a 50% chance to hit, still. I understand where you are getting that but in actual play it is not realized. The potential is there, however, strikers also have an excellent chance to hit in addition to their excellent damage. Rogue especially (20 DEX, +4 w/ dagger, +2 combat advantage = +11 to hit with one attack for 1d4+2d6+5). Ranger, pretty good too (20 DEX, +3 w/ bow = +8 to hit with two attacks for 2d10+1d6) Play the Wizard! He will slowly shave the enemies down when you hit.:yawn: [/QUOTE]
