Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

okay final result is, over the course of 184 combat encounters of presumably 3 rounds each from levels 1 to 20, that a regular martial hits 51 more times and a fighter hits 65 more times, assuming that all buffs, debuffs, class features, encounter designs, etc. essentially wash out.

this was awful. why did i do this.

To frame it a bit more. Those translate to around 2 to 3 extra hits per level.
Since you attack more often at higher levels, chances are that someone starting with 1 point less strength will close the gap at some point.
