D&D 5E Retributive Strike does 800 points of damage!

[bleezy]

A fully charged Staff of the Magi does 800 points of force damage to all creatures within a 30 foot radius when broken in a retributive strike. This likely makes it the single best item to pick in any level 20 showdown vs. Tiamat or the Tarrasque. A mage/thief with evasion even has a decent chance of surviving the blast. If most gods have 5 legendary resists, it will be hard for any mage (even a diviner) to get them to fail their save vs. the staff, but if they can be dealt even a few hundred points of damage first any god should be annihilated by this thing. Move over acid splash!

Edit: Oops, I read the table wrong. Only 400 points, or 200 on a save.

Nice... but I'd prefer a Sphere of Annihilation if we are freely picking.

Or just hand Tiamat a Deck of Many Things.

Pshh ... like I'm gonna break my sweet staff just to kill Tiamat.

 

[Wrathamon]

I would only do that if I was about to die and go out in a blaze of glory

Throw it down her throat and let the digestive acid break it.
