[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8459970, member: 84112"] yes if you are LOOKING for power, and are GOOD at it anyone can... but only if you know to look and are good at understanding it... the internet means you need to not even know to look, you don't have to luck into it, you just sign on and there are hundreds of thousands of us all looking and shareing... example: I have a buddy who stinks at character op... like he really with his whole heart tried to tell us (Only last year or the year before... right before covid lock downs) that the most damage out put you could make would be a two handed fighter or barbarian with great weapon fighting style and feat... with a greataxe. First, using the reroll 1s and 2s the 2d6 great sword already pulls ahead in the build itself... but then he neglected to think about any outside source of damage... he drew up this 20th level 4 attack, then action surge 4 attack with -5 to hit +10 damage 1d12 and gave him a +3 greataxe and said it was what he wanted to shoot for... Becky said "SO what, with your 24str you have +16 to hit or +11 with penelty and deal 1d12+20 damage per hit... so 8d12+80 reroll 1s and 2s... 120 AVERAGE she then pulled some broken rogue build off a site and was like "higher to hit, and 135 average damage no actionsurge" then said "Spell casters still better" He wants it, he just isn't good at it.
