so basically

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...

yeah i've got a few Zeitgeist Gears of Revolution (the idea of running this literally got me into dming to begin with. it's just so cool) a sequel to the above that basically just grabs every example conspiracy in the setting book and goes "These are canon. Die." masks of nyarlathotep...

the whole argument is about if +1 to a stat matters. if your response to math trying to demonstrate a position on that is just "well that doesn't matter because you'll win anyways", then i don't know where else that thinking could possibly lead to. you can say it about any part of the game.

by this logic none of the rules matter and we might as well just throw all the math out

i was gonna ask how, and then i saw vekeshi has FOUR FIRST LEVEL FEATURES and one of them is just echo knight action surge on steroids. so uh. i can see why that one is much. EDIT: honestly level 1 excoriant is SO STRONG that i think you could rip threefold presence out of first level and...

2024 backgrounds are such a mess even AL lets you avoid them
