[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7444942, member: 6716779"] A class with a single attack (maybe 2) that has no class feature to boost that damage. Example Druid, Valor Bard. Fighters for example get action surge+ a weapon style so even a longsword+duelist style is dealing what I consider moderate damage. high damage is something like a 2 handed weapon with extra damage on top (hunter ranger, hex, action surge etc). Very high damage is same as high damage with the -5/+10 feats kicking in or a mid to high level Sorlock. Sword and board+sentinel feat+duelist+ hex/hunters quarry can also get into the high damage territory just requires a bit more work. I would have 5 tiers of damage. Very low damage. Simple weapon no extra damage (wizards, Druids) Low damage. 1d8 or so no exra damage (valor bards) Moderate dmaage. Two handed weapon or 1d8+ a bit extra (duelist, 1d6 spell, colussus slayer) High Damage two handed weapon+ extra or 1d8+ 2 or 3 extra damage sources Very High Damage best in game (extra damage+ -5/+10 feats or Sorlock). Extra damage can be a flat modifier, extra attack, sneak attack, extra dice. A Monk for example deals moderate to high damage as they get that bonus extra attack and can flurry. Level 1 Monk for example can deal 1d8+3 with a Staff or spear+ an extra 1d4+3 which puts it in the two handed+ a bit extra damage range. An arcane cleric using a simple weapon with greenflame blade and an active spirit guardians can get up there in damage. [/QUOTE]
