So much for my Grave Cleric 2 / Assassin 17 with Purple Worm Poison doing 1,000+ damage in one hit.

Half Orc, Gloomstalker Ranger 5, Assassin 3, Battlemaster Fighter 3 (superior technique), Paladin 2, Favored soul Sorcerer 7 (GWM).

Before the battle, he's used SP to create a total of 7 x 4th level slots, and has a spare 2 points for a Quickened GFB. He's currently concentrating on Holy weapon (that he keeps concealed to hide its glow).

On a surprise attack (from hiding) against a fiend or undead he makes 7 attacks (action surge, dread ambusher, quickened GFB) all of them crits, smiting on each one, and spamming his 5 superiority dice, with GWM 'on'.

1 - 3d12+2d8+2d8+4d8+12d8+15
2 - 3d12+2d8+4d8+12d8+15
3 - 3d12+2d8+4d8+12d8+15
4 - 3d12+2d8+2d8+4d8+12d8+15
5 - 3d12+2d8+4d8+12d8+15
6 - 3d12+4d8+12d8+15
7 - 3d12+4d8+6d8+12d8+15

Thats 1000+ damage on average.

You will probably hit 1000+ frequently, but the average of the above is 835.5.

You're also re-rolling 1's and 2's on the 21d12's and 12 of the d8's

Still, 132d8s, 21d12s (+ 95) is nothing to sneeze at.

Flaming greataxe might get us there.
