With enough time (and splat books) I believe it will be possible to do one million damage in a single round.DISCLAIMER 1 - There are flaws with this plan, and I have identified many of them. Please read my whole post before telling me my plan won't work.DISCLAIMER 2 - I'm only interested in potential damage, not in likelihood or actual chances.It goes like this:The power is level 27 ranger attack power ‘Hail of Arrows’. Target: Each enemy in range.Range of greatbow 25/50So with one enemy in every square, for 50 squares in every direction. That’s a square of 101x101. -1 square at the center for the ranger to stand in. = 10200 targets.Assuming critical hits on every roll (HAH!). Max damage is (12+25+36)*10200+24.That is: d12 (12) + dex (10), magic bow (6), weapon focus (3), Bracers of archery (6) + 6d6 (36) for a critical * targets... plus 24 for hunter’s quarry done to a single target (3d8 at that level).Unfortunately ...a)    No army marches in formation 101 by 101 or largerb)    I wouldn’t roll that many 20sc)    Even if I did roll that many 20s, there’s no way I’d roll max damage on the bonus from critical hitsd)    No one can carry that many arrows. 1020 pounds of arrows + 5 pounds for the bow, requiring a character with 103 strength.e)    For that many targets, at level 30... they’d probably all be minions, thus invalidating the damage anyway.Not quite a million damage in one round, but he could do it again after 5 minutes rest <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />So, have I missed any flaws? And have I missed any ways of increasing the damage?Edit: I just realized one very obvious improvement:Perfect Hunter's Weapon gives d12 crit damageTherefore, it now looks like this:d12 = 12Dex = 10Enhancement = 6Weapon focus = 3Bracers of Archery = 6Subtotal = 37Crit damage 6d12 = 72Subtotal = 109Targets 10200 * 109 damage each = 1111800Plus 3d8 = 24 damage to one target which is the quarry.Grand total 1,111,824 damage. Epic or broken? You decide.</blockquote>
