[QUOTE="Dunamin, post: 4077010, member: 57529"] All the 6 characters from D&D Experience look pretty potent, and it made me think about how deadly they would be with focused effort on a single target. Let’s say you have a villain that you want to put up against this party, and you want him bad enough that he can survive at least 1 round of successful attacks from all members when they are at peak capacity (an ambush, for instance). Of course, not all PCs would hit in a round and be in position to use their best attacks, but let’s work with those assumptions as a worst/best case scenario. It would look something like this: Paladin: On Pain of Death, 3d8+3 dmg. Cleric: Cascade of Light, 3d8+4 dmg. Fighter: Brute Strike, 3d10+5 dmg. Ranger: Split the Tree, 2d10+4 (nearby minion as additional target). Wizard: Acid Arrow, 2d8+5 dmg. Warlock: Curse of the Dark Dream, 3d8+4 dmg. Not taking all the synergy into account (such as opportunity attacks from one PC triggered by the power of another PC) and all the immediate and secondary effects of such an onslaught, this would be an average damage over 100! Holy crap! Those solo monster better pack a mountain of hp! [/QUOTE]
