08-15-04, 01:22 AM What is the most damage you have done in a single hit/spell/whatever?

This evening I was able to, after rolling a 17, 18, 19, 20 with the following:

Strength 27 ( +8 ( with 2 hand grip +4 more for +12 total ) )
Specialization ( +2 )
Weapon Enchantment ( +5 )
Holy Damage +7 ( rolled that from a range of 2-12...applied once )
Die rolls 7, 6, 8 and 7

total 111 points of damage to a Rakshasa. After the 25 damage reduction, it was a measley 86 points of damage. My friend, Deafbymetal, watched the rolls. It was incredible. The attack JUST PRIOR to that landed a grand total of 79 damage ( before damage reduction ) which was amazing to me then! What is your finest single attack?

08-15-04, 04:37 PM 1st level Half-orc rogue with spiked chain and 20 Strength did maximum damage on her first hit ever: 36 points against an Ogre.
[2d4+(5x1.5)]x2 +1d6

She rolled a 20, confirmed a crit and rolled max damage.

It was her first roll ever in D&D. She was elated, and impressed the hell out of my gaming group of long-time players.

08-15-04, 05:26 PM Who was playing the Half Orc Female? Sounds like the player was a newcomer.

08-15-04, 08:16 PM Hmm. I don't uber-twink much ... I think it was in the high 120s on an Empowered Maximized Fireball against a Cold-subtype creature

60 Damage for Maximized Fireball
+20 (or so) for the +5d6 from Empowering.
------
80
x1.5 (for Fire Attack on Cold Subtype).
-----
120

Exact numbers may vary ... it's been a while.

How?

I simply cutted the rope one of my friend was hanged on to....:devil:

I had to balance accounts with him.:D

08-16-04, 03:45 PM I once had a 3rd level barbarian do 75 points of damage with one swing of his greataxe - I was quite impressed.

A natural 20 strength, raging, power attack for 3 and a +1 weapon. Confirmed the crit, so I got to do 3d12 + 51 damage.

The sucky thing was the critter I hit only had 6 hit points left. :bored:

08-16-04, 04:13 PM My half-orc barbarian hit a critical when powerattacking for his full BAB. 112 damage. Killed one of the bosses (a druid) in one hit, then our druid made a friend out of his old animal companion (a dire bear). Then the other boss (a fighter) got quadruple-teamed and ran away. That was the best timing I've ever had on a critical . . .

08-16-04, 06:42 PM 240 points of damage from one attack is the most I have dealt to one target.

Think red great wyrm with the maximise breath weapon feat.

Hey, you never said DM's monsters dont count ;)

Seriously though, I think it was probably around 70 damage using an empowered fireball with a 12th level wizard.

08-17-04, 08:11 AM You can get to around 100 points with a spell caster without rolling any dice. Simple example: empowered maximized fireball.
90 points of damage and you only burn off a level 9 spell. Yeah, that really does the trick for anyone without immunity to fire.

08-18-04, 12:22 PM I don't know about the highest (that would be my 9th level paladin using spirited charge, smite evil and 4 points of Power attack on a Fire Giant who got a critical, it was (1d8+25) * 5 damage for about 160 damage) but the most satisfying was in 3.0 with my Fighter 2/Cleric 3 with a Bull's Strength running (for 20 STR).

A Dire Bear did a partial charge in the surprise round and Combat Reflexes kicked in as it arrived for an AoO, rolled 20 followed by 15 for a confirmed critical and then 10, 9, 10 on the dice for exactly 50 damage. The bear then rolled a 1 on its Fort Save and expired from Massive damage.
