Melee attack / damage bonuses

James McMurray

First Post
Ok, I'm trying to figure out the highest melee attack bonus I can get using a few spells and limited wish. Here's what I've got so far:

Divine Favor: +5 Luck
Divine Power: Converts BAB to +15
Tenser's Transformation: +7
Maximized Bull's Strength + Polymorph into Fire Giant: Strength 38 = +14
Righteous Might: Become Huge and Strength +4 -> 42 (+2 more)
Righteous Wrath of the Faithful: +2 Morale
Greater Magic Weapon: +5
Size: -2

Total bonus: 38

For Damage we've got:

Strength: +16
Enhancement: +5
Spikes on Quarterstaff: +10
Divine Favor: +5

total: +36

Total Attacks: Quarterstaff dual wielded (no feats):
+34 / +34 (haste) / +34 (Righteous Wrath) / +30 (Second Head) / +29 / +24 / +19

Each successful Attack will deal 2d6 (Huge Quarterstaff) + 36 (or +28 with the second head). Criticals will occur on a 17-20 (Brambles and persistent Assassin's Senses) and will deal x3 damage.

Note that with Curse of the Brute I could have a Strength 48 instead, adding +3 to attack and damage (+1 second head).

What have I missed, oh masters of the Smack?

Also note that the above spells will grant an additional +15d6 + 1d8 + 15 hit points, and a Maximized Endurance could add another +60.

[Edit] Added Size penalty to attacks [/Edit]

Well, as I said, I'm trying to use Limited Wish, since its the only spell I have access to that isn't already factored in. Thanks for the advice though...

Limper, I'm trying to make paste of the enemy Necromancer in my Return to the Tomb of Horrors campaign (link is in the sig! :) )

[Edit] Of course, seeing as how I'm also the DM, I know going into it that a Mordenkainen's Disjunction will most likely ruin my day, but as the NPc doesn't know that, he's going to try to increase his power as much as possible.[/Edit]
