[QUOTE="Old Drew Id, post: 3164001, member: 12175"] I saw the description on the home page for "Dungeon Tactics #1". It says that it will show you how "a first level fighter can do a maximum of 18 hit points of damage without magic bonuses or rolling a critical hit." So I started to ponder what that build was, and if there was one better. I came up with a first level fighter that can do 21 points just using the SRD, and one that can do 27 points using Complete Warrior. Both can do so without magic and without rolling a critical hit. Here's what I came up with from the SRD: [SPOILER] Half-Orc fighter 1 18 Strength +2 racial bonus = 20 Strength Feats: Power Attack, any other fighter feat Greatsword = 2d6 damage 2-handed = +7 damage (Str bonus X 1.5) Power Attack = +2 damage (+1 BAB X 2 for 2-handed use) = 2d6+9 = maximum 21 points of damage without a crit or magic [/SPOILER] Here's what I came up with from the SRD and Complete Warrior: [SPOILER] Half-Orc fighter 1 18 Strength +2 racial bonus = 20 Strength Feats: Power Attack, Monkey Grip Large-sized Greatsword = 3d6 damage 2-handed = +7 damage (Str bonus X 1.5) Power Attack = +2 damage (+1 BAB X 2 for 2-handed use) = 3d6+9 = maximum 27 points of damage without a crit or magic [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
