[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8609656, member: 6877472"] Well you don't even have to spend all your time fighting. How many combat rounds do you see before you hit a benchmark like 4th level where you can "catch up"? People taut the "6-8 encounters per diem" a lot, so how many combat rounds does 7 combats require? I am [B]not[/B] willing to look at the DMG to figure out how many combats it takes to go up 3 levels, but i'm going to assume it's quite a lot. Let's call it, I don't know, 35. In 35, 3 round combats, you will make 100 attack rolls as a Fighter easily. 100 rolls you were 5% better at, and theoretically 100 points of damage (though when/where that makes a difference is almost impossible to gauge). It's not meaningless, but I'm not a statistician. Maybe one will wander along and tell us what kind of bell curve we're looking at. [/QUOTE]
