:::: Nubian Fury Barb: 10 (Base) + 5 (Dex) + 8 (Bracers of Armor) + 16 (Con) - 2 (Rage) + 5 (Ring of Protection) + 5 (Amulet of Natural Armor) + 1 (Undressed) = 48 (35 Touch)
:::: Just for the lolz, Squishy: 10 (Base) + 8 (Bracers of Armor) + 5 (Dex) + 5 (Ring of Protection) + 5 (Amulet of Natural Armor) = 33 (20 Touch) which puts them on the RNG as the heavy armored guy.
:::: To give a sense of perspective, what characters have for attack bonuses at that level: 20 (BAB) + 12 (Str) + 1 (Weapon Focus) + 1 (Greater Weapon Focus) + 2 (Melee Weapon Mastery) + 5 (Weapon) = +36/+31/+26/+21. Those iteratives add a HUGE amount of damage, and are part of the fragile balance in 3.5 that needs to be maintained if you want non-ToB characters to remain relevant.
:::: Sense made? Honestly, almost all of my dislikes are couched in math that I've spent a LOOOONG time doing research on. It might sound pretentious, but I know my stuff, and I often have actual math reasons why it isn't good for the game from a design perspective. --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 01:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
