Which weapon should I choose?! D&D5e+ edition calculator.
Have you ever been staring at two weapons in your inventory and wondered which one deserves the glory of being pulled out for an attack? You might have intuitions that sometimes a higher chance to hit matters more, especially when the AC is high, but sometimes more damage on an actual hit matters more, especially when hitting is already very likely.
But which one actually matters more, and when? The maths can be a sneaky little goblin, and it does not always agree with instinct.
This helpful calculator compares two weapons across AC 1 to 30 using expected damage with a normal attack, advantage, or disadvantage, and it takes critical hits into account too.
