    In a single round of combat, a wizard can use a spell to rain fire and bring a max health fighter down to 1 hp.

    In comparison, in a single round of combat, a fighter can swing their sword four times and bring a max health wizard down to 1 hp.

    So they’re both as good as each other in a hypothetical 1v1 combat scenario which is unlikely to ever come up during an actual game. Bravo. Can we stop having this argument? It’s been 4 months since this exact meme was posted.

      No! We must run the scenario in every system first, then compile the distribution of outcomes.

      +repelling blast +agonizing blast. That’s what 20 dmg on average at 3 beams per attack and what 30 feet of push?
