Help with DPR


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Sorry, this may be a noob question but

(if anyone is so inclined)

how do i work out the DPR comparison? having some trouble on working out DPR based on to hit vs CR20 AC. Based on a full attack (please take boots of speed into account)

4 theoratical builds (I won't post them as would make it VERY long)

1. Barb11/Ftr9 BAB (including feats/magic/gtr rage)= 39/34/29/24 (+39 for boots of speed)

Damage= (all feats/magic etc)56 per hit ot 59 if evil

2. Ftr10/Rogue 10 (Scimitar TWFer)
BAB= 29/29/24/24/19/14 (plus another +33 for boots of speed)

Damage=ave 44 per hit primary
Off hand is about 39.
TWR adds 1d10+ 12

3. Ftr20 (Dual Longswords)
BAB= 33/28/23/18 (plus another +33 for boots of speed)
Primary Damage is ave 38 or 44 if evil
Off hand ave 33 or 39 if evil

1d10+ 12 for twr.

4. Eldritch Knight (Falchion 2 Hander)
BAB= 27/22/17/12 (+27 for boots of speed)
Damage= av 45 or 51 vs evil.

I'm not real flash with the DPR calculator....thankyou if anyone takes the time to work this out.


The damages you've listed are average, right? So for a die roll, it's 1/2 + .5 (1d8 does 4.5 on average). If so, this is what I get:

This assumes a threat for crit of 19-20x2

For #1, I get 235 DPR all the way up to AC25, dropping to 222 at AC30. Adding in another boots of speed attack moves it up to 294 DPR

For #2, I get 221 dpr vs AC20, dropping to 168 vs AC 30. For BoS, add 48 more damage. I didn't calc TWR into this, so it would be 17.5 more when that happens. (crit = 18-20x2)

For #3, I get 154 vs AC20, 122 vs AC 30. With BoS, it's 194 vs AC20 to 162 vs AC 30. Also + 17.5 for TWR

For #4, I get 179 vs AC20 - 108 vs AC 30 + BoS = 228 vs AC20 - 155 vs AC30 (crit 18-20x2)
