Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Baldur's Gate 3 vs Solasta comparison

Well, it's a bit of an aside now, but: bear in mind for that, that the rogue's sneak attack continues to grow, while the ranger does not gain any further attacks. At level 5, a ranger might be rolling functionally 6 dice and adding ability mod three times, while the rouge in the same position is only rolling five dice and adding ability mod twice... but the ranger needs three hit checks for that while the rogue only needs two. Move on to level seven, only two later, and the ranger is still at the same damage ratio, while the rogue has caught up. Two more levels after that, and the rogue is rolling more dice and needing fewer hit checks for it than the ranger in the same position... and the gap only widens after that. If you consider opportunity attacks alongside that, and the fact that the rogue is getting to roll their SA outside their turn as well, then they're already out-damaging the ranger in the same position, even at level 5, for the same presumed opportunities and attack time.
