u r always comparing swords and axes what about daggers and staffs and clubs?
anyway i like the new formula i will test this formula with some random numbers.
the conclusions I came to can always be scaled to those
mainly the reason I use the two is because they are at either end of the range of damage spectrum
but ya I actually had forgotten about including the other two haha
it's highly unlikely, but it may be the case that at certain times a dagger/club would be better than sword/axe because it might find the right mix of undercut/overkill but finding that out is something I would actually need ingame data for
that's why I just stuck with the final conclusion that the longer it takes you to kill a monster, the more range you want on a weapon, theres no way you can go wrong with that
That's mainly the concern of thread 4 tho
this thread, the dex vs str one, is the one I most often see violated brutally by people with poor understanding of mechanics
