what’s exceptionally fun is that not only is it the most amount of damage Brennan has ever seen, it’s also enough damage to kill almost every powerful 5e enemy. God bless Emily Axford, a chaotic icon

2:22 For even more context on this, remember that in that 23 years of playing D&D Brennan is talking about most of it before Dimension 20 was probably in 3/3.5e, where numbers tend to be waaay bigger than in 5e, and builds tend to get way crazier. So not only is that the most damage Brennan has seen in a single attack, it's more damage than he ever saw in the prior edition known for broken nonsense.

806. My personal record in 5e. It came from using a spell to make me become fire and blow up 3 full crates of dynamite which not only nearly wiped my own party, but also instantly took down the boss, the adds, and nearly the building. I survived on good CON saves (because a blast that big ain’t a Dex save), relentless endurance, and death ward. I came into that fight knowing I’d be doing this and I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I was the atomic bomb, and I survived on death saves.

I GM GURPS. Hit points in GURPS are on roughly the same scale as D&D. Very high damage attacks in GURPS are always 6d6 with a multiplier (because otherwise, you'd end up with buckets of dice for some things). I once was doing a set up for a later campaign that was going to involved Kaiju (which sadly never happened), and I let a player use a nuclear weapon. GURPS has rules for this. It was 6d6 x 30,000 concussion damage, with additional heat damage and radiation damage. I let him roll just because when do you ever get to roll damage for a nuke? He rolled 20, so that was six hundred thousand damage. So that was the most damage any player has ever done in a single attack in any campaign I ever ran.

560 is the most damage a single attack Brennan has seen in 23 years? I’m not gonna act like 560 is nothing, But it’s not nearly as impossible in 3rd edition. Meta magic Wizards could Maximize (Full damage instead of rolling dice) Empower (+50%) and Crit on Attack roll based spells. Once again, 500 damage is still huge, Just not as surprising to me as Brennan never seeing it before.
@cptfwiffo4 күн бұрын
That requires an awful high level, IIRC. You're talking empowerd (+2 levels), maximizied (+3 levels), so already at +5 levels. Then get a high-level attack-roll based spell, say disintegrate, which caps at 40d6. So you have 40*6(max)*1.5(emp)*2(crit) = 720. But that requires a 9th level spell slot, a rod of metamagic, and a crit. Honestly, I can see a max-empowered disintegrate happening. And then getting to crit it. But it requires a level 17+ campaign (if not 18 for sorcerers), so it would quickly dwindle in a small samplesize. Also, levels10+ aren't half the fun so they get played much less. All my campaigns have ended at 14 or so, because that's where randomness starts killing you instead of bucking you. A fight against a BBE, where round one two party members fail a save, and now there's a TPK. Similarly, I remember encountering a young adult red dragon at level 9. Was supposed to be big(they are CR 13). My wizard dumbly thought, well, let's flesh to stone that. But got lucky on the MR and the save. Combat was done before anybody went. Very anticlimactic. But the opposite happens too. Encounter a monster at level 14. Monster casts wail of the banshee. Half the party fails the save. Half the party is gone. And the fighters don't to resurrect, so the entire mission was canceled.
@olknoxlo3 күн бұрын
@@cptfwiffo First off I will concede that doing 500+ damage is exponentially harder the lower level. I'd wager that anything below 12 might not even be capable without some true hidden cheese. However, There are options that reduce the spell level increase of Metamagic, Which is what my wizard had been doing. If your campaign goes mythic, It's even easier. Third edition D&D was just a whole nother' beast. Save vs. lose spells are always going to be an issue, You have a 5% chance of ending any fight with a flesh to stone or kill spell (Enemy rolling a one on save) *nearly* regardless of their defenses. Final paragraph cause' it doesn't really matter, The most damage I've done was in the Warcraft d20 (Which is heavily based off 3rd edition) They had a metamagic feat called 'Transcendent Spell' (+7 spell levels) that removed any caster level caps. (It could make a first level spell hit like an eighth level spell if you payed for it. I had a lot of options to reduce the metamagic costs, So I could throw around Transcendent empowered maximized fireballs. All this to say, I'm not impressed with my character as much as my DM for handling that shit.
