I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place but I could use some help/advice from more seasoned players. I have never played a non-caster class and was thinking of having a go at it. Well to be more specific play an Inquisitor so more transitioning to it. Anyway I was wondering how melee damage is increased when you level up. I am trying to roll up a 7th level character as a backup and don’t quite understand how my weapon (Bastard sword) will deal more than the 1d10 standard damage. I know I have seen a barbarian in our party do 30-40 damage standard and crit for over 90.
Here are my stats, ect.
Str 18
Dex 12
Con 15
Int 12
Wis 18
Cha 7
Human
15 point build with 2 items adding 2 to str, con and wis (Still to be approved low magic campaign).
Feats I grabbed: Out Flank, Coordinated D, Expanded Arcana, Power Attack, Marital Weapon Prof, Enforcer, plus one to be filled still.
What am I missing? Any advice on how to do more melee damage would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
