[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 150593, member: 4036"] [b]My half-orc priest beat your paladin champion with a stick![/b] Originally Posted by Dantai [b]PHB Smackdown with no magic items[/b] O.K. You got your prestige classes of uber-cheese only printed once in warbles and weevils magazine vol 1 smackdowns utilizing +8 swords of monkey-beasting. Here's something a bit simpler: Half-Orc: Cleric (St Cuthbert) Lv16 Armed only with a common qurterstaff and these Feats: Ambidexterity, TWF, Imp TWF, Power Attack With Divine Favour (yes I am English), Greater Magic Weapon and Righteous Might cast. With a strength of 24 activating your strength domain power gives a strength of 40 for a round, str 44 with righteous might. So your base damage adjust is +17 (str) +25 (two-handed) +30 (luck bonus from divine favour) +35 (enhancement bonus from greater magic weapon). You get 5 attacks this round the lowest attack bonus being +24, might as well use the smite ability on that one then for a grand total of: 191 + 5D8 damage If you're being picky then Power Attack away to your heart's content. Total cost of Smackdown ingredients = zip, not a single GP Total number of dodgy classes and books used= zip, PHB only So when you're butt-naked in the dungeon of ultimate despair you need only find a stick to prove that you are still the daddy. For a bit of extra death you could use the Spikes spell out of DotF I guess you could disallow the Righteous Might if you only had one round to prep, but you could take a Barbarian Lvl (and a N alignment) and use rage to compensate, which would be slightly less effective but should still get the 200 pts in with a bit of power attacking.
