[QUOTE="Hodgie, post: 5284796, member: 29204"] I was running a modified 3.5e version of Age of Worms battle in the arena. I had introduced Alric the gladiator a dozen or so session earlier and he was a well respected NPC. Things had been going rough for the party for a few sessions and so they were getting angry/bitter. We had some house rules that made it fairly hard to die, but some power gamers that facilitated high damage PCs. Basically, it was unlikely that the PCs would kill anyone in the arena even if they didn't hold back. Statistics were not their friend and they killed a half-dozen foes in the first few rounds. When they faced Alric and his crew, I had Alric give a quick speech about what it meant to be a true champion, that champions knew how to still their blade, that he would teach them the meaning of heroism. Then Alric challenged the party leader to single combat. The player accepted. Initiative is called. The player rolls a 20. The player steps up to Alric and unleashes all he has. The player rolls a 20. The player deal enough damage to kill Alric outright. We have a number of records we keep track of, one being "highest single attack damage." This attack holds the record.
