[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 5878464, member: 79335"] I did the math, and even checked the averages by generating massive data tables and comparing. Brutal 1 is nothing more than 1 additional flat damage. Same with 2dX where X is 1/2 the total you want. So 3d4 = 1d12 Brutal 2 = 1d10+2 That means that they have placed the same value on High Crit and Brutal 1. But, does that mean that they are of about the same value? Are the following equal in practice: [list] [*]Rapier +3 1d8 One Handed Light Blade [*]Short Sword +3 1d6 One Handed Light Blade Off-Hand [*]Long Sword +3 1d8 One Handed Heavy Blade Versatile [*]Broad Sword +2 1d10 One Handed Heavy Blade Versatile [*]Light War Pick +2 1d6 One Handed Pick High Crit [*]Longspear +2 1d12 Two Handed Spear Reach [/list] [SIZE="1"]By the way, I apologize if I have my numbers wrong. I am at work and trying to do this from memory.[/SIZE] Because all too often I see players in my group getting the same weapons because they are "the best!" To me, this is an indicator that they are broken. How come I never see a player rockin' a scythe, or laying about them with a katar? Because these weapons are detrimental when compared to similar category weapons. And that is what I want to fix by getting rid of or modifying all the weapons that nobody would choose. [/QUOTE]
