The Build Doctor
Your hero hits the boss every round — and barely scratches it.
The Build Doctor reads your character the way a rules-lawyer friend would, names exactly why it underperforms, and hands you the fix — in seconds, for free.
Sir Flailsworth · level 8 · finesse melee
broken
⚠ Accurate but ineffective
Your +18 to-hit lands on a level-8 foe, but your ~8.5 damage per round is far below the ~26 a striker your level should deal. You hit — you just don't hurt.
⚠ Finesse gives accuracy, not damage
You fight with Dexterity for to-hit but have no way to add Dexterity (or Strength) to damage — so you hit often and barely scratch.
→ Add a Dexterity-to-damage source
An Agile weapon, or Slashing/Fencing Grace, or a Swashbuckler dip turns accuracy into damage. (+Dex mod (often +4 to +5) to every hit)
A real diagnosis from the deterministic engine — no AI guesswork. It runs on your hero in the app.
How it solves it
THE SYMPTOM
Great to-hit, zero impact
You roll well, you connect — and the monster shrugs it off. Something's wrong and the sheet won't tell you what.
THE DIAGNOSIS
Accurate but ineffective
The Build Doctor computes your real damage-per-round against a level-appropriate foe and names the pathology — no Strength, no Power Attack, finesse with nothing to add to damage.
THE FIX
Concrete, not vague
Not “optimize more.” Specific moves with the expected payoff: add a Dex-to-damage source, take Power Attack, and watch the number climb.
