[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8556182, member: 2629"] They had the fighter 11th level multiattack (3 attacks) , the gloom stalker extra attack on attack actions in the first round of combat(1 attack), action surge (4 more - all 4 of those first happen again), haste from a spellcaster ally (1) and a bonus action attack from GWM (1) for 10 attacks. There was also an ally's Pass Without Trace to allow him to approach and get to the prone dragon. Each attack was with a Flame tongue for 2d6 (average 7 - actually a bit higher due to GWF), with 2d6 from fire (7 more), Great Weapon Master (10), Belt of Storm Giant Strength (+9 to hit and damage), and Rage for 2 more (and reckless attack - but the dragon was prone for the first round). Each attack was at advantage at +10 for 35 ... I can't recall if all hit, but it was brutal. I think there may have been a sorcerer level in there for a divine soul +2d4 to hit once. He was an Eldritch Knight, but if he was a battlemaster he could have had another 6d10, I think. I'm pretty sure that if he'd really wanted to be gross and mix in paladin (instead of barbarian) for smiting on top of all that he could have hit 400. [/QUOTE]
