[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7617512, member: 6795602"] Thanks. The calculation I did wasn't calculating overkill damage. It was calculating the rounds to kill an enemy. The point I'm making is that if you kill an enemy faster then any extra time the other build is spending killing the first enemy you are able to redirect whatever damage you can cause in that time to another enemy. That said, I think I can adapt the formula I'm using to account for multiple enemies which would be the best way to tackle your question of if the first attack from the 2 attack PC kills an enemy then what happens. I think I can determine the average number of rounds to kill 5 enemies with 5 hp each. I think that would be sufficient? Start simple and work toward more complex goals. Variable-Damage is not easy to deal with in a discrete way over multiple rounds. That is a goal I mentioned in my OP. Eventually we will work our way up to such calcs. I did my example with a 45 hp enemy instead of a 5 hp enemy. The 1 attack PC killed the enemy about .5 rounds faster. I'm just guessing but I don't think whatever is gained by possibly being able to split attacks when an enemy dies will be worth that difference. [/QUOTE]
