emily axford continues to be an absolutely spectacular dnd player spoilers for ep 16 of Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey watch and subscribe to Dropout.tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's worth it!!!
what’s exceptionally fun is that not only is it the most amount of damage Brennan has ever seen, it’s also enough damage to kill almost every powerful 5e enemy. God bless Emily Axford, a chaotic icon
Oh, that's only publicly. If there are 4 artificers who are being played by 4 marine engineers... they would effectively make Fireball the size of a mini-sun.

Sometimes it's not about how much damage you can do to a boss. Sometimes it's about how many times over can you deal a CR3 enemies entire HP. And by Sometimes I mean always.
It was mostly just the ship to ground. That thing could’ve probably taken 56 damage. You can just label whatever big beefy characters you want ships and you’ll be fine.
I will say, a large majority of Emily's characters are chaotic chaotic (good). Prime example: FIG FUCKING FAETH aka Hilda Hilda aka Insane bitch aka Detective Decker AKA the devil sent to destroy Brennan (not a fig nickname but more of an Emily nickname)

2:22 For even more context on this, remember that in that 23 years of playing D&D Brennan is talking about most of it before Dimension 20 was probably in 3/3.5e, where numbers tend to be waaay bigger than in 5e, and builds tend to get way crazier. So not only is that the most damage Brennan has seen in a single attack, it's more damage than he ever saw in the prior edition known for broken nonsense.
i fucking love emily because she’s pure chaos and just wants to fuck around while ALSO being an insanely skilled d&d player that understands the mechanics so well it’s too powerful
Counterpoint: She isn't chaotic. She's the most advanced tactical and strategic mind in the entire group, and she's just so advanced at it that it LOOKS like chaos.
806. My personal record in 5e. It came from using a spell to make me become fire and blow up 3 full crates of dynamite which not only nearly wiped my own party, but also instantly took down the boss, the adds, and nearly the building. I survived on good CON saves (because a blast that big ain’t a Dex save), relentless endurance, and death ward. I came into that fight knowing I’d be doing this and I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I was the atomic bomb, and I survived on death saves.
>560 My reaction if I were DM would be "I would ask how you want to do this, but instead I will ask just how *many* pieces of entrails you would like scattered all over the floor."
I once dealt 547 falling/terminal velocity damage against a Giant from one casting of Tasha's Hideous Laughter cast moments after my Grung Dimension Door'ed inside the Giants eye :)
So like if you check the SW5E rules on their site now, you would notice that they removed that whole "reroll 1s" mechanic that Sid's been using mutliple times throughout this season. Makes you wonder if the guys ever saw this madness and went yeah nope
Lol Remembering Murphs amazingly consistent bad rolling in the early D20 campaigns as Riz and Kugrash... not just low average but awful timing as well!
i came into this video like “no way this can beat ava burrows end doing more than one hundred points of damage to the floor in burrows end” and i was incorrect
I GM GURPS. Hit points in GURPS are on roughly the same scale as D&D. Very high damage attacks in GURPS are always 6d6 with a multiplier (because otherwise, you'd end up with buckets of dice for some things). I once was doing a set up for a later campaign that was going to involved Kaiju (which sadly never happened), and I let a player use a nuclear weapon. GURPS has rules for this. It was 6d6 x 30,000 concussion damage, with additional heat damage and radiation damage. I let him roll just because when do you ever get to roll damage for a nuke? He rolled 20, so that was six hundred thousand damage. So that was the most damage any player has ever done in a single attack in any campaign I ever ran.
Ok, but to be fair how often do you see a *x10* damage multiplier? 56 damage on a crit is much more reasonable. 56 damage on a doubled crit is downright tame
560 is the most damage a single attack Brennan has seen in 23 years? I’m not gonna act like 560 is nothing, But it’s not nearly as impossible in 3rd edition. Meta magic Wizards could Maximize (Full damage instead of rolling dice) Empower (+50%) and Crit on Attack roll based spells. Once again, 500 damage is still huge, Just not as surprising to me as Brennan never seeing it before.
Contrasting cool anime combining CG and 2D with their flickering AI "anime", it become even more obvious how much further the tech would need to go to rival us silly humans.
I thought it was going to be epic damage. I was in an Unfamiliar campaign, and we had crit for 2700 on a crab kaiju in Skullcano Island. It had 5000 + hp

That damage is enough to put a Tarrasque in Critical HP. Holy shit.
D&D 3.5 in NwN 2 with an empowered disintegrate crit on a ranged touch attack basically. You could one shot every boss in the game.

So sorry, but I did read this accurately up until the very end, where I read “chaotic onion”. Please appreciate the possibilities of a chaotic onionz
It's hilarious to me that this damage was dealt to one non important character instead of some big baddy. I loved this campaign, so many great moments

Now I see why DMs hate space campaigns. The modifiers are just absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah it's rough to DM for but like, if you get hit by an orbital bombardment you ain't surviving that shit. that's fair

That's when you add a third axis to the equation.
As of August 23rd 2023, there are only 15 officially published monsters in DnD that would survive that hit
Yet it’s less than Half the HP of a Warship in 3.5. They just don’t build em’ like they used to.
Did you check for resistances? Berserking? There are lots of ways to halve damage.
One of which is the Tarrasque, which does not count because it's a fucking Tarrasque.
the tarrasque is an outlier and should not count

As a DM to have a player like Emily is a must! Her RPanic is hilarious and her combat tactics are just outstanding!

What makes this even better is that out of all people its of couses Emily "send from hell to kill me" Axford who got this number.

Me, foolishly, before clicking on this video: "Hm, this video is from two years ago, I wonder if this is still the record"

Terminal Velocity is capped at 20d6, so your DM kinda got the rules wrong on that.

amazing
We all know this was Emily’s payback to Brennan for both saccarina and lapan dying in acoc she got the ultimate revenge
"This is why you roll so poorly, Murph, you use the metal one." Had me rolling
I'm sorry, do you mean herstory?

Emily is a menace and I love it.
She went ultra instinct on that attack.
Talk about overkill omg 😂

Ok, but to be fair how often do you see a *x10* damage multiplier? 56 damage on a crit is much more reasonable. 56 damage on a doubled crit is downright tame
in space campaigns the mutlipliers go crazy
So they doubled the damage twice. In dice and than just basic x2.
one of them said it was quadruple damage, I would guess there was some property of the attack that doubled damage as well as the crit
The other characters were buffing the attack before she rolled, which is what made the crit even luckier.
@@updownbanana Lou boosted weapons earlier in the turn, which is why Brennan asked him for the wording of the ability
