Actually...
The Impaler (Without GM Patch):
--------
Average Damage Per Round: 1447.5/20 = 72.375
Celestial Fury + Belm (Without GM Patch):
--------
Average Damage Per Round: 1445/20 = 72.25
With or without the GM Patch, the Impaler can outdamage CFury+Belm. Something to keep in mind. [/QUOTE]I humbly accept my correction, but seeing as the difference came down to 1/8 of a hit point of damage per round for the case I had in mind, and I did go far enough down the math to identify that it would just be "edged out" the other way, I'll consider myself only slightly chastised. I may have to eyeball this further at home, given Jim's response, but thanks to both of you regardless.
EDIT: Wait a minute... for vanilla SOA, CF primary hand + Belm offhand, 13th level warrior specialized in Katana, that's 4.5 attacks per round... 3.5 from CF in primary hand and 1 from Belm in off hand! The numbers above (for vanilla SOA) were based off 2.5 attacks for CF and 1 for Belm. I'm definitely going to give this another look...
