[QUOTE="NotActuallyTim, post: 6833236, member: 6804638"] Actually, a Paladin, particularly a MCed one, can probably dish out a damage of around 300 I mean, a 20th level pally can smite twice for 54 points of Radiant damage without even trying, and if they add a Banishing Smite spell on top, they get another 27.5 points of force damage. From there, it's just a matter of Power Attacks, Haste spells, Poisons and so forth, until they hit that magic number. Furthermore, in order to get that much Ki, a monk would need to: -be 20th level -kill 30 creatures (not super difficult, but sort of time consuming) -resist 10d10 damage every round until they actually find something to punch (that's 55 damage a round or so, potentially for hours, depending on how hard it is to find whatever it is you need to punch) -Deal with that damage not only after killing 30 creatures, but while killing them, since it's a flat 10d10 even if you're only 1 point over the top. -Not spend any Ki at all until they get to wherever it is they need to go, unless they intend to kill more creatures while undergoing crippling pain. Also, it's Force damage, so as far as I know, there's no way to be immune to it. Even with a level 20 Life Cleric, that's a lot of healing to do, for an extended period of time. It's one of those 'maybe if we set things up using multiple teleports, a prison full of squirrels and a Dragon trapped under a tiny net' plans that winds up sacrificing viability for theory.
