@@SimplyDeathskull yeah but its a cantrip and does more damage as you level at lvs 5, 11, and 17 you get an extra d8 to the normal attack and to the fire that jumps off.
But you also need to spend an action to force the save, so it's not immediate. _(I guess you could possibly bypass that with the Fighter's action surge ability.)_ Also, if they succeed on the save, you're only doing 10d10 necrotic damage; it also can't crit, since the initial strike to create the vibrations is harmless. But other than that, yeah, just... pray for shitty rolls, or consider the Divination Wizard's portent ability to force a bad saving throw.

1:31 "Divine Smite Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8." How did you get 6d10? Even a level 5 spell slot spent on a divine smite only gives 5d8, since thats the maximum. Pretty sure the punching bag isn't a undead or fiend, either. Also technically the most damage you can deal in a single punch is 676 from the Tarrasque's HP, using the Way of the Open Hand monk's final ability ("Quivering Palm") and assuming the Tarrasque rolled a 1 on it's constitution saving throw.

I like the way pathfinder (1e) enables this. There's just a monk archetype that makes your flurry of blows count as a single punch, adding the damage from all the hits together when you strike. It's mechanically good because it fixes damage reduction removing a ton of your damage from each hit, instead only applying once, but flavorfully it also just makes you straight up into Saitama, all your bonuses to punch get multiplied by the number of punches you would have landed for that one hit.

Level 100 is just ridiculous though. Most Gods that get worshipped are level 50 at most. My uncle way back in the day was once tasked with describing what a level 100 thief could do. Well, that thief can waltz buck-naked into the highest security fortress in the universe, singing a jaunty tune, stopping and mooning the guards every 3 seconds, grab the princess from the tallest tower and all the treasure he can carry, and stroll right back on out -- with nobody noticing that anything was even slightly off till 3 months later. And that's probably even an understatement for what a level 100 can do.

I think you can get much higher. By my calculations you can get +1000 damage; assuming that all dice that you are rolling are AVERAGED. (d4 = 2.5, d6 = 3.5, ....) It is a build I am working on to one-shot the terrasque, but it can be easily modified for this scenario. Edit: After doing some research and calculations I have this. Using Glyph of warding to stack effects on ourselves without needing to concentrate on all the spells and spending a few days in preparation our Palidin 2, Wizard 1, Warlock 1, Bard 14, Cleric 2 can swing. Paladin 2 gives us Divine Strike (5d8 Radiant) Thunderous Smite (2d6 Thunder) and Wrathful Smite (1d6 Psychic). Wizard gives us Chromatic orb and Absorb Element (9d6 Thunder)(This is extremely important). Warlock gives us Hex Curse as described. Bard is where the magic happens, it gives us Banishing Smite (5d10 Radiant) Blinding Smite (3d8 Radiant) Staggering Smite (4d6 Psychic) and Holy weapon (2d8 Radiant). Cleric 2 just for the spell levels and I took storm cleric to max thunder and lighting anyway. It is important to set up a glyph of warding with chromatic orb to hit YOU, then use your reaction with our 9th level spell slot for the day to get 9d6 extra damage on our next attack next turn. This can be any damage type dealt by chromatic orb. We do this instead of Green-flame Blade. Demon Armor (1d8+1 Slash) Hand of Vecna (2d8 Cold) Belt of Storm Giant Strenght (9 Slashing) Oil of Sharpness (3 Slashing) Half Orc (1d8 Slash) Orcish Fury (1d8) Insignia of Claws (1 Slash) Potion of growth (1d4 Slash) and Martial Adept (1d6 Slashing) I am not changing. Total dice are Radiant (8d6,8d8) Thunder (11d6) Psychic (5d6) Force (5d10) Slashing (1d6,3d8,+21). Potion of giant size gives 3x dice and crit gives us 2x dice for a total of 6x dice. Total dice after potions are Radiant (48d6,48d8) Thunder (66d6) Psychic (30d6) Force (30d10) Slashing (6d6,18d8,+21) Leaving us with a total damage of 1749 if my math is correct. Feel free to check for yourself, but a max health terrasque has 990 so I am not worried. Just to clarify this is a modification of my current build I am working on and is not meant to kill the terrasque.
Demon Armor has a curse placed on it so you can't remove it, so you can't really take one glove off for the +2 duelist fighting style. Though you could probably just not put the second glove on in the first place
Ahem. Goblin Goblins come with an ability called Fury of the Small, a Racial Ability that adds their total character level to damage once per short rest. You might have gotten an extra pair of d8 from being Half Orc, but a flat 20 bonus is better.
It has come to my attention that Goblin would only be able to use FotS on a creature larger than it. Fortunately, the smaller size of goblin as a base means it'll be one size category smaller than the largest possible size category, which is good since you can still WanPanMan a gargantuan creature.
Reading five manuals of gainful exersise gives you a slightly higher STR bonus than the belt, also an devotion palladin can make their weapons into weapons with a bonus to dmg equal to their charisma mod
Green-Flame Blade actually scales up with character level rather than class level, so it is a +3d8 rather than just a +1d8 [which in itself was already wrong, you only add up the first 1d8 at character level 5]. On top of that, you could cast Hex [on turn before] to add up another 1d6 damage, provided that it was not said that it had to be turn 1 punch, just a "single" punch. Although I believe there are better ways to do that and possibly even higher damage with different class/race selection.
You can actually do a lot better than belt of storm giant strength. The Manual of Gainful Exercise has an effect that stacks adding 2 to the strength score. Even better the bonus from all these books can't be stolen.
Additionally with Eldritch smite you can almost match the damage of paladins smite. However this would also allow you to be pure Warlock allowing you to pick up a bunch more invocations that could increase your damage. These include: 1. Improved Pact Weapon. Make the armor a pact weapon to get a +1 2. Lifedrinker Bonus Charisma damage (which can be made ridiculous with the Tome of Leadership and Influence.) 3. Sign of Ill Omen. When cast with a 5th level or higher spell alot requires no concentration adding an additional 1d8. Also want to note that you still get to use Banishing Smite because Hexblade Warlocks get access to it. Additionally you can cut down on books because with hexblade this build just needs Charisma.
To add a note about the luck blade thing wish has some pretty hard limits and with what is being asked a very high chance of failing so wishes can pretty much be ignored. Also if you want magic items that let's you cast certain spells just get a spell scroll for whatever the you want.
In pathfinder you can one punch man if you tale pummeling style on a brawler or monk and just jack your strength since pummeling style makes your flurry of misses into a single attack Or be a mounted character with a lamce and spirited charge
Forgot to include your Paladin oath. Although if you were just counting all of the main player books like players handbook, xanathers, and swordcoast then none are necessary in this except for the Paladin oath in the dm book.

@@tachibana-sangarren8895 to clarify a luck blade is as close as you can get to being a dm, it allows a player to cast "wish" which is limited to how much power the dm wishes to grant you. You can rewind time, instantly slay any creature, obtain a vast fortune, etc; keep in mind it has - at best - 4 uses, but even one wish can change so much it's scary. I'm a dm, gave my players a luck blade without them realizing what it was and they used the only charge on it to get info on a target by complete accident; needless to say, after this incident the spell "identify" was mandatory for every party they were in, no matter how unlikely it was to happen again. I wonder if they noticed they got another one XD
just double checking the math and I wanted to see if I am somehow missing something. As I come out with 406 with the most lenient of rules following. Static damage: +9 str, +3 sharpness, + 1 demon armor, +2 dueling, +6 curse, +1 fang thing: totaling to 22 static damage. rolled damage: 2d8 cold hand of vecna, 3d8 from giant demon punch, 3d4 (probably shouldn't be increased by giant size but could be argued for), 6d8 smite, 5d10 banishing smite, 3d8 green flame blade (booming blade feels more thematic), 1d8 orc feat, (1d8 after doubling for crit for savage attack) finally 1d6 for lunge. Maxed and doubled for crit: 32 vecna, 48 demon punch, 24 enlarge, 96 smite, 100 banish smite, 48 booming blade, 16 orcish fury, 8 savage attack, 12 lunge. This plus the 22 static damage comes out to 406 damage. Was he multiplying the savage attack damage for the crit as well, or did I miss something that gave us the extra 8 damage?
"But unarmed strikes aren't considered weapons!" That is just wrong. Not based on any rules, but honestly, if your Paladin picks 1 level Monk or the Tavern Brawler feat, just let them smite with their fists. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Makes me miss the old Pummeling Style for Pathfinder 1.0 before it got errata'd. It used to be a single punch that you basically rolled all of your attacks in a full attack + Flurry of Blows in which those that hit would combine damage for the strike. The one thing that made it super broken (and gave a significant boost over Pounce) was that if any single roll on that strike confirmed a crit, then literally all of the landed attacks were crits as well. So, you could throw a single punch and do between 200-300 damage based on gear.
OK, just a small correction: Goblin would be better than Half-Orc on the attack. Orcish Fury + Savage Attack you 2d8 damage, a max of 16 damage. That's fine and all, but Fury of the Small gives you a flat 20 damage bonus to your attack at Level 20, which gives you 4 more damage. So Saitama isn't a huge half-orc big boy, but a BOOYAGH small boy.
I had, a long time ago, a "Blessed Curse" (called "Blighted Kill Shot") that reduces the cursed'd attacks down to one and only as the very last one to attack. That cursed character then rolls the attack against the target. If he misses, he misses. If he hits, he rolls again. He keeps rolling until he misses. Then, he totals all the damage for all those landed attacks (crits and all) as a single blow. If the target is protected from attacks, those are reduced first not by calculated attacks but by one attack immunity dropped per 4 HP of damage. Also, damage reduction is only applied once. If saving throws apply, the target must make one save per attack landed or suffer the save lost. It was a curse that was part of the party's initial story that they all had. The paladin and cleric both removed the curse when they had the chance. The wizard, rogue, and fighter did not... with the fighter becoming our version of One Punch Man. I mean, armed with his best gear and weapon, he killed a Tarrasque in one hit. In later campaigns, I did not introduce that "Blessed Curse" because it kind of broke the game in all ways save for storytelling... but the storytelling was EPIC.
Imagine how books for lvl 9 magic spells would look at magic schools: *Wishes, or how to break the world in your favor (and probably yourself too)* *Gate, or your personal /tp* *Shapechange, or one-time changeling ability*
Probably a level 20 monk with 20+ epic boons. Probably 30s in STR, DEX, and CON with additional bonuses on top of that. Feats like tough, durable, athletic, mobile, etc. And boons that multiply damage dice and give damage and condition immunities. Long story short, caped baldy's power can not be expressed by a mear level 20 character, you will have to go at least past 30.
Imagine that in Pathfinder, a pretty standard party of 4 3rd level characters can kill this guy without taking any damage, using 1st level items only. Assuming of course the same rules, except imposing the level cap. Might be possible even with first level characters too.
What about a build that doesn't rely on any gear/weapons? (Pretty sure the Tavern Brawler feat also allows for unarmed damage that does more than one damage a punch.)
Considering you use your action sometime after punching them to activate that ability, I've imagined it's like that anime thing where the enemy doesn't show that they've been cut to pieces until the swordsman has put their sword away... but like the punch version of that.
With Way of the Open Hand Monk, Quivering Palm 17 level does 10d10 necrotic if savings throw is made. If not HP is reduced to zero. Seems like 17 lvl monk should be in the build. That leaves 3 levels of other classes to add extra dmg.
Bard level 10(char and proficency modifier to all spells) warlock level 2( Eldrich invocation of agonizing blast(char modifier to eldritch blast) Hexblade patron(charisma modfier to weapon) Choose the weapon of channeling your patron to be a spellcasting tool Choose eldrich blast as a bonus spell(to use bard spell slots) Cast level 5 eldrich blast through your weapon Eldrich blast makes seperate beams so buffs apply seperately to each one You cast 6 beams and add your proficiency once and your charisma thrice for every beam The total damage is 6d10+96 assuming 4 proficiency bonus and +4 char modifier
I’m surprised you didn’t go way of the long death monk. If I remember correctly their capstone ability let’s them do a shit ton of necrotic damage with no save on their target’s part after they are hit.
This’d be way easier in Pathfinder. Just get the monk’s Quivering Strike, and choose the number the enemy rolls for them by being a level 3 Cyclopean Oracle or whatever that archetype’s called.
That's nice but as a twentieth level wizard I can deal thousands of damages with a bunch of coins... The spell animate objects allows you to animate 10 tiny objects (+2 per spell slot above 5th level) and each object has +8 to hit, which is really good, and does 1d4+4 damage. And they all attack at the same time. So 5th level it does 10d4+40 damage right? Nope because it's a concentration spell for 1 minute, ten rounds, and so ten attacks putting you at 100d4+400. That's at the 5th level of the spell. 9th level is 18 objects for at total of 180d4+720. But that's all right? Well... Kinda... Seeing how we're allowed to prepare for Saitama no reason I can't prepare a bunch of 7th level glyph of wardings right? So for 1000gp that's 10 glyphs right? 7th level... That's 70d4+240 each for a total of 700d4+1680 damage and also adding a 9th level you can personally cast for an extra 180d4+720 for a grand total of 880d4+2420 damage! And if that is max damage that's 5940 damage (I personally on a small scale use silver coins or copper coins to animate but here we can use pebbles or something, or we drown them with money, haha)! But wait, there's more! Seeing how Saitama was allowed all nat 20's the damage would be doubled! Making that 9460 damage overall! With my 880 coins I stand at the summit of the world drowning all of my enemies with overwhelming amounts of cash! Go! Attack my gold coin minions! (Remember that's only 1000 gp... You can most definitely add more...) Edit: I would like to add that if all 880 items are small bombs they will also do an extra 2640d6 fire damage... But that's an extra 150gp per bomb that I could spend on more glyphs so instead let's make them all bits of lava, daggers, vials of acid, caltrops, and other fun goodies! Also I got interested in how much 10000 go damage would be and 100000gp damage would be an oh boy... (Not including personally cast 9th level spell) 520k damage for 10k gold and 5.2M damage for 100k and if they're all nat 20's that's 1.04M damage and 10.4M damage respectively. I WILL kill gods... So how's that 414 damage doing over there Blaine?
Vecna...the bane of my existence. My school has a DND Club, and I’m in it. Our DM has us going around our school to find Vecna’s eye and hand. I was a bit of a lazy boi, and wasn’t in most of the sessions up until the last school section. What I heard was that our soon to be Teafling found Vecna’s eye in a place i don’t remember. I came in around the time the party checked the kitchen. Along the way one of our party members got turned into a fire elemental, and when another one of us found Vecna’s hand, he tried to pick it up with his bare hands...he turned into a Lynch by doing that. Eventually we got the hand, and were allowed to make our characters. I became a wood elven rouge with duel shotguns, and a bow (our DM said we could use modern weapons), then we enter a tavern, see a hooded figure enter, and our DM, who was also a character, told us to flee out the window. After a while we discover a cave, and enter it. We see the same hooded figure from before, and it turns out, that the guy was a Mind Flyare (I forget how it’s spelled). We figured it out thanks to our Teafling, who shot an arrow, braking the illusion. Then, the most idiotic thing happened, I rolled for initiative, got a crit fail, and rolled a two on fear. I ran into the forest, and I left a “trail” behind me, if you get it. The fight never even got to end because of this stupid virus.
2:12 he could be a minotaur, using horns as an unarmed strike allows for smites to be applied because your horns are "weapons" but also count as unarmed
@Blaine Simple Nope! Look at the phrasing of monk's Stunning Strike, which is the same, and according to Crawford works with unarmed strikes. twitter.com/JeremyECrawford/status/608792317227466752 Divine Smite: ...when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack... Stunning Strike: When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack...
IIRC, most of the smite stuff just requires a weapon attack, not an attack with a weapon. And unarmed strikes are weapon attacks. So while Booming Blade or Magic Weapon are off the table, smites are kosher.
ROFL I can't believe I didn't think of this with my Paladin... I've got a level 20 paladin that ended up with a curse that turned his right arm completely metal, like Cable. Our DM allowed me to use it as a weapon since it's a freakin' piece of metal, but I also never thought to setup double smite on the arm... And here I was going around punching dragons when I could have been DESTROYING dragons by fisting. giggity.
I could swear Green-Flame Blade scaled with total level and not spellcaster level, so it would be 3d8 fire damage or something instead of 1d8. Not counting that, awesome!
you can go even higher with 2 in paladin, 1 in warlock and 17 in cleric. i got up to 554 damage. i think only a Tarrasque can survive that. but i think allys buffs can fix that.
i did the calulating and build several hours ago so forgive me for not fully explaining but i used the death domain cleric instead since you only need 2 lvs in paladin to obtain searing smite and that damage works the same was branding smite when using higher lv spells slots i used every thing he had used after the class stuff as well so its mostly following the same thing but i made this build long ago just for giggles but allways wondered how it can be played for real. i also used the death domain cleric since it gains a high damage channel divinity use by just expending it as well as access to lv 9 spell slots for searing smite to be at its highest possible die. to bad divine smite can only be used up to 5d8 (+1 for a undead/fiend) i used the orc like him and all items he also used as well but depending on how you view it on the potion and being a orc the die can be either doing the weapon die first to 3d6 then orc crit to be 9d6. or the other way around 3d6 on orc crit then add the extra 3 to 3d6. i did the other way since it makes more sense. i also did the same with vecnas hand due to it being part of the weapons die not added like a smite so by RAW it should be writchen as 9d6 slashing 18d8 cold. thats RAW though in my interpretation with how i seen sage advice with similiar situations as well as playing the game. and cleric divine strike is betting then improved divine smite. if i made a mistake please inform me.
this reminds me of the part in overlord when Ainz Ooal Gown fights Shalltear and before the fight starts Shalltear is frozen and Ainz just stands there for like 10 minutes buffing himself before he makes the first attack.
@@BlaineSimple As a fan of yours I hate to say this, but that statement was incorrect in every way conceivable. Crablante might just be the single most influential and important character in that entire anime. Not only were his actions the sole reason Saitama began their training to initiate the show in the first place, but had he not went on his revenge quest, Agoni would not have founded the hero's association on account of his grandson (the child Crablante attempted to murder.) Long story short, if not for Crablante, the entire plot of the anime they came from would literally cease to function.
Be glad that potion miscibility isn’t a thing in (official) 5e! (I still use the 1e potion miscibility tables when players are downing multiple potions)
Yeah, wish basically completely answers the "how much damage is maximum" question with infinity... Unless the dm says "no" to that, as it would break the game
If that's the case then 2 rules to add to that, if you wish for infinite damage then fine, however, you can't wish for infinite defense. Someone else in the world might find themselves wishing for damage immunity but they can't wish for infinite damage. If you 2 ever find each other and fight each other, you are both instantly deleted from the universe. This would be because "the unstoppable" force and "the immovable" object cannot coexist. By telling players this, they now know that they run a risky game. When they use their infinite damage ability they might instantly destroy themselves and are forced to use caution. Maybe an enemy bluffs them and has no injuries, has a history of being a powerful creature and fools them into believing that it has achieved immunity to all damage.
You could also argue that the Open Hand Monk's capstone ability quivering palm is the most possible damage you can do In a single attack because if it succeeds it always reduces the target to 0HP regardless of what it's currently on. 676 HP Tarrasque still goes down on one hit. But the video did state it wouldn't consider any effect that requires a saving throw
Yeah, just to nullify that feature. There'd be no video if that was the case, and even then you're hoping the enemy fails the save or doesn't have legendary resistance.

Isn't green flame blade a cantrip that has the flame attack an adjacent target and not the actual target?
Well, this build's main issue is that it isn't the Pun-Pun build. Other than that, nice job!
@@SimplyDeathskull yeah but its a cantrip and does more damage as you level at lvs 5, 11, and 17 you get an extra d8 to the normal attack and to the fire that jumps off.
Blaine Simple Divine Smite caps at 5d8, unless your target is undead or fiends. So with improved divine smite, the total is 6d8, not 6d8 + d8.
Banishing Smite deals 5d10 damage not 6d10 damage

Nice punchline.
I mean, quivering palm monk can literally one shot anything on a failed save
Quivering palm isn't OPM, it's Fist of the North Star.
But you also need to spend an action to force the save, so it's not immediate. _(I guess you could possibly bypass that with the Fighter's action surge ability.)_
Also, if they succeed on the save, you're only doing 10d10 necrotic damage; it also can't crit, since the initial strike to create the vibrations is harmless.

Isn't Green-Flame Blade deal 3d8 at Level 20? 5th Level adds 1d8, increased by 1d8 at 11 and 17 respectively
After looking over it again, you're right! Thanks for pointing that out, the new damage total is 446!
Isn’t there a book that ups your strength by two when you read it and that will bring the strength to 30 or +10?
@@BlaineSimple I was just adding Green-Flame Blade to my Sorcerer/Paladin today, so I had to actually read it to add to my roll20 character xD
@Robert Coggins I mean, the target in this scenario is a 'dummy' which won't move - so it wouldn't go off.
Wait, if the initial damage is 1d8, wouldn’t it be 4d8 by level 20?

"Divine Smite
Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8."
How did you get 6d10? Even a level 5 spell slot spent on a divine smite only gives 5d8, since thats the maximum. Pretty sure the punching bag isn't a undead or fiend, either.
Also technically the most damage you can deal in a single punch is 676 from the Tarrasque's HP, using the Way of the Open Hand monk's final ability ("Quivering Palm") and assuming the Tarrasque rolled a 1 on it's constitution saving throw.

I’m smelling loaded dice at play.
I like the way pathfinder (1e) enables this. There's just a monk archetype that makes your flurry of blows count as a single punch, adding the damage from all the hits together when you strike. It's mechanically good because it fixes damage reduction removing a ton of your damage from each hit, instead only applying once, but flavorfully it also just makes you straight up into Saitama, all your bonuses to punch get multiplied by the number of punches you would have landed for that one hit.
I prefer one punch man in Skyrim, but this is still a pretty cool setup to maximize damage.

Level 100 is just ridiculous though. Most Gods that get worshipped are level 50 at most.
My uncle way back in the day was once tasked with describing what a level 100 thief could do. Well, that thief can waltz buck-naked into the highest security fortress in the universe, singing a jaunty tune, stopping and mooning the guards every 3 seconds, grab the princess from the tallest tower and all the treasure he can carry, and stroll right back on out -- with nobody noticing that anything was even slightly off till 3 months later.
And that's probably even an understatement for what a level 100 can do.
@@ryangainey94 Saitama can easily defeat world destroyers while barely even trying at all. It's pretty accurate. Saitama's physical strength could be considered to be on the level of pre-crisis Superman's
I think you can get much higher. By my calculations you can get +1000 damage; assuming that all dice that you are rolling are AVERAGED. (d4 = 2.5, d6 = 3.5, ....) It is a build I am working on to one-shot the terrasque, but it can be easily modified for this scenario.
Edit: After doing some research and calculations I have this. Using Glyph of warding to stack effects on ourselves without needing to concentrate on all the spells and spending a few days in preparation our Palidin 2, Wizard 1, Warlock 1, Bard 14, Cleric 2 can swing.
Paladin 2 gives us Divine Strike (5d8 Radiant) Thunderous Smite (2d6 Thunder) and Wrathful Smite (1d6 Psychic).
Wizard gives us Chromatic orb and Absorb Element (9d6 Thunder)(This is extremely important).
Warlock gives us Hex Curse as described.
Bard is where the magic happens, it gives us Banishing Smite (5d10 Radiant) Blinding Smite (3d8 Radiant) Staggering Smite (4d6 Psychic) and Holy weapon (2d8 Radiant).
Cleric 2 just for the spell levels and I took storm cleric to max thunder and lighting anyway.
It is important to set up a glyph of warding with chromatic orb to hit YOU, then use your reaction with our 9th level spell slot for the day to get 9d6 extra damage on our next attack next turn. This can be any damage type dealt by chromatic orb. We do this instead of Green-flame Blade.
Demon Armor (1d8+1 Slash) Hand of Vecna (2d8 Cold) Belt of Storm Giant Strenght (9 Slashing) Oil of Sharpness (3 Slashing) Half Orc (1d8 Slash) Orcish Fury (1d8) Insignia of Claws (1 Slash) Potion of growth (1d4 Slash) and Martial Adept (1d6 Slashing) I am not changing.
Total dice are Radiant (8d6,8d8) Thunder (11d6) Psychic (5d6) Force (5d10) Slashing (1d6,3d8,+21).
Potion of giant size gives 3x dice and crit gives us 2x dice for a total of 6x dice.
Total dice after potions are Radiant (48d6,48d8) Thunder (66d6) Psychic (30d6) Force (30d10) Slashing (6d6,18d8,+21)
Leaving us with a total damage of 1749 if my math is correct. Feel free to check for yourself, but a max health terrasque has 990 so I am not worried.
Just to clarify this is a modification of my current build I am working on and is not meant to kill the terrasque.
Vecna is pronounced with a hard C sound, because the guy who made the character said so... His name was Vance, anagrams!
Im so proud of you blaine for finaly finishing after all that research
Yeah, glad I took so long to get it right, seems there's not a whole lot of holes in this build as of yet!
Dang this is cool, thanks for doing it, also the animation is real nice!
Demon Armor has a curse placed on it so you can't remove it, so you can't really take one glove off for the +2 duelist fighting style. Though you could probably just not put the second glove on in the first place
Ahem. Goblin
Goblins come with an ability called Fury of the Small, a Racial Ability that adds their total character level to damage once per short rest. You might have gotten an extra pair of d8 from being Half Orc, but a flat 20 bonus is better.
It has come to my attention that Goblin would only be able to use FotS on a creature larger than it. Fortunately, the smaller size of goblin as a base means it'll be one size category smaller than the largest possible size category, which is good since you can still WanPanMan a gargantuan creature.
Asimaar also get the level added to them as radiant damage.
I loved the pacing and scaling up in this video with plenty of references to contextualise just how insane the numbers were climbing up to be.
I tried to keep the numbers engaging, thanks for the love!
Perfect as always.
No u
Reading five manuals of gainful exersise gives you a slightly higher STR bonus than the belt, also an devotion palladin can make their weapons into weapons with a bonus to dmg equal to their charisma mod
I want to see the seven Deadly sins in D&D
Thank you I also want to see that so bad but I thought everyone in that show was too overpowered
@@dannysangree6304 What do you mean? Full counter definitely won't break the game and neither will ban's healing factor
Green-Flame Blade actually scales up with character level rather than class level, so it is a +3d8 rather than just a +1d8 [which in itself was already wrong, you only add up the first 1d8 at character level 5].
On top of that, you could cast Hex [on turn before] to add up another 1d6 damage, provided that it was not said that it had to be turn 1 punch, just a "single" punch.
Although I believe there are better ways to do that and possibly even higher damage with different class/race selection.
Saitama's glove with all that smite looks like an infinity gauntlet
You can actually do a lot better than belt of storm giant strength. The Manual of Gainful Exercise has an effect that stacks adding 2 to the strength score. Even better the bonus from all these books can't be stolen.
Additionally with Eldritch smite you can almost match the damage of paladins smite. However this would also allow you to be pure Warlock allowing you to pick up a bunch more invocations that could increase your damage. These include:
1. Improved Pact Weapon. Make the armor a pact weapon to get a +1
2. Lifedrinker Bonus Charisma damage (which can be made ridiculous with the Tome of Leadership and Influence.)
3. Sign of Ill Omen. When cast with a 5th level or higher spell alot requires no concentration adding an additional 1d8.
Also want to note that you still get to use Banishing Smite because Hexblade Warlocks get access to it. Additionally you can cut down on books because with hexblade this build just needs Charisma.
To add a note about the luck blade thing wish has some pretty hard limits and with what is being asked a very high chance of failing so wishes can pretty much be ignored. Also if you want magic items that let's you cast certain spells just get a spell scroll for whatever the you want.
Also my solution to this character is 1 spell. Antimagic field. With that that you can deal 38 with perfect critical.

@@tachibana-sangarren8895 to clarify a luck blade is as close as you can get to being a dm, it allows a player to cast "wish" which is limited to how much power the dm wishes to grant you. You can rewind time, instantly slay any creature, obtain a vast fortune, etc; keep in mind it has - at best - 4 uses, but even one wish can change so much it's scary. I'm a dm, gave my players a luck blade without them realizing what it was and they used the only charge on it to get info on a target by complete accident; needless to say, after this incident the spell "identify" was mandatory for every party they were in, no matter how unlikely it was to happen again. I wonder if they noticed they got another one XD
@Jeff Sian Oh ok. I already knew it Grant's wishes in Blaine's video, although thank you nonetheless.
... THAT'S SO BROKEN!
just double checking the math and I wanted to see if I am somehow missing something. As I come out with 406 with the most lenient of rules following.
Static damage: +9 str, +3 sharpness, + 1 demon armor, +2 dueling, +6 curse, +1 fang thing: totaling to 22 static damage.
rolled damage: 2d8 cold hand of vecna, 3d8 from giant demon punch, 3d4 (probably shouldn't be increased by giant size but could be argued for), 6d8 smite, 5d10 banishing smite, 3d8 green flame blade (booming blade feels more thematic), 1d8 orc feat, (1d8 after doubling for crit for savage attack) finally 1d6 for lunge.
Maxed and doubled for crit: 32 vecna, 48 demon punch, 24 enlarge, 96 smite, 100 banish smite, 48 booming blade, 16 orcish fury, 8 savage attack, 12 lunge. This plus the 22 static damage comes out to 406 damage.
Was he multiplying the savage attack damage for the crit as well, or did I miss something that gave us the extra 8 damage?
"But unarmed strikes aren't considered weapons!"
That is just wrong.
Not based on any rules, but honestly, if your Paladin picks 1 level Monk or the Tavern Brawler feat, just let them smite with their fists.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
They're weapon attacks, but not weapons in of themselves.
Only improved divine smite cares about this annoying logic. smh
I'd also expand onto races that give you natural weapons
Makes me miss the old Pummeling Style for Pathfinder 1.0 before it got errata'd. It used to be a single punch that you basically rolled all of your attacks in a full attack + Flurry of Blows in which those that hit would combine damage for the strike. The one thing that made it super broken (and gave a significant boost over Pounce) was that if any single roll on that strike confirmed a crit, then literally all of the landed attacks were crits as well. So, you could throw a single punch and do between 200-300 damage based on gear.
“You still can’t do that!”
i love how you drew the sword from minish cap at 7:27 love that game.
OK, just a small correction: Goblin would be better than Half-Orc on the attack.
Orcish Fury + Savage Attack you 2d8 damage, a max of 16 damage. That's fine and all, but Fury of the Small gives you a flat 20 damage bonus to your attack at Level 20, which gives you 4 more damage. So Saitama isn't a huge half-orc big boy, but a BOOYAGH small boy.
Would fury of the small work? Cuz with the potions he drank I think he'd be considered a large creature

JK Blaine your the best
I re-recorded the audio but thought it'd be funnier to keep it xD
I had, a long time ago, a "Blessed Curse" (called "Blighted Kill Shot") that reduces the cursed'd attacks down to one and only as the very last one to attack. That cursed character then rolls the attack against the target. If he misses, he misses. If he hits, he rolls again. He keeps rolling until he misses. Then, he totals all the damage for all those landed attacks (crits and all) as a single blow. If the target is protected from attacks, those are reduced first not by calculated attacks but by one attack immunity dropped per 4 HP of damage. Also, damage reduction is only applied once. If saving throws apply, the target must make one save per attack landed or suffer the save lost.
It was a curse that was part of the party's initial story that they all had. The paladin and cleric both removed the curse when they had the chance. The wizard, rogue, and fighter did not... with the fighter becoming our version of One Punch Man. I mean, armed with his best gear and weapon, he killed a Tarrasque in one hit. In later campaigns, I did not introduce that "Blessed Curse" because it kind of broke the game in all ways save for storytelling... but the storytelling was EPIC.

Imagine that in Pathfinder, a pretty standard party of 4 3rd level characters can kill this guy without taking any damage, using 1st level items only. Assuming of course the same rules, except imposing the level cap.
Might be possible even with first level characters too.
What about a build that doesn't rely on any gear/weapons? (Pretty sure the Tavern Brawler feat also allows for unarmed damage that does more than one damage a punch.)
What about the way of the open hand monk subclass? As their 18th level ability, if a target fails their dex(?) save, it is a one-shot kill.
Considering you use your action sometime after punching them to activate that ability, I've imagined it's like that anime thing where the enemy doesn't show that they've been cut to pieces until the swordsman has put their sword away...
but like the punch version of that.
In the rules our opponent is considered immune to making saving throws. ;)
With Way of the Open Hand Monk, Quivering Palm 17 level does 10d10 necrotic if savings throw is made. If not HP is reduced to zero. Seems like 17 lvl monk should be in the build. That leaves 3 levels of other classes to add extra dmg.
Bard level 10(char and proficency modifier to all spells) warlock level 2(
Eldrich invocation of agonizing blast(char modifier to eldritch blast)

Choose eldrich blast as a bonus spell(to use bard spell slots)
Cast level 5 eldrich blast through your weapon
Eldrich blast makes seperate beams so buffs apply seperately to each one
You cast 6 beams and add your proficiency once and your charisma thrice for every beam
The total damage is 6d10+96 assuming 4 proficiency bonus and +4 char modifier
I’m surprised you didn’t go way of the long death monk. If I remember correctly their capstone ability let’s them do a shit ton of necrotic damage with no save on their target’s part after they are hit.
Or an assassin rogue that at their capstone lets them do quadruple damage
Way of open hand can one shot things as their capstone
You forgot 100 PUSH UPS 100 SQUATS 3 MILE RUN 100 SIT UPS FOR 3 YEARS AND NO AIR CONDITIONER!!!!!!!
This’d be way easier in Pathfinder. Just get the monk’s Quivering Strike, and choose the number the enemy rolls for them by being a level 3 Cyclopean Oracle or whatever that archetype’s called.
Legendary resistance exists in D&D though, that'd be a hard counter.
@@BlaineSimple No resistances allowed, remember?
That's nice but as a twentieth level wizard I can deal thousands of damages with a bunch of coins...
The spell animate objects allows you to animate 10 tiny objects (+2 per spell slot above 5th level) and each object has +8 to hit, which is really good, and does 1d4+4 damage. And they all attack at the same time. So 5th level it does 10d4+40 damage right? Nope because it's a concentration spell for 1 minute, ten rounds, and so ten attacks putting you at 100d4+400. That's at the 5th level of the spell. 9th level is 18 objects for at total of 180d4+720. But that's all right? Well... Kinda... Seeing how we're allowed to prepare for Saitama no reason I can't prepare a bunch of 7th level glyph of wardings right? So for 1000gp that's 10 glyphs right? 7th level... That's 70d4+240 each for a total of 700d4+1680 damage and also adding a 9th level you can personally cast for an extra 180d4+720 for a grand total of 880d4+2420 damage! And if that is max damage that's 5940 damage (I personally on a small scale use silver coins or copper coins to animate but here we can use pebbles or something, or we drown them with money, haha)! But wait, there's more! Seeing how Saitama was allowed all nat 20's the damage would be doubled! Making that 9460 damage overall! With my 880 coins I stand at the summit of the world drowning all of my enemies with overwhelming amounts of cash! Go! Attack my gold coin minions!
(Remember that's only 1000 gp... You can most definitely add more...)
Edit: I would like to add that if all 880 items are small bombs they will also do an extra 2640d6 fire damage... But that's an extra 150gp per bomb that I could spend on more glyphs so instead let's make them all bits of lava, daggers, vials of acid, caltrops, and other fun goodies! Also I got interested in how much 10000 go damage would be and 100000gp damage would be an oh boy... (Not including personally cast 9th level spell) 520k damage for 10k gold and 5.2M damage for 100k and if they're all nat 20's that's 1.04M damage and 10.4M damage respectively. I WILL kill gods...

Vecna...the bane of my existence.
My school has a DND Club, and I’m in it. Our DM has us going around our school to find Vecna’s eye and hand. I was a bit of a lazy boi, and wasn’t in most of the sessions up until the last school section. What I heard was that our soon to be Teafling found Vecna’s eye in a place i don’t remember. I came in around the time the party checked the kitchen. Along the way one of our party members got turned into a fire elemental, and when another one of us found Vecna’s hand, he tried to pick it up with his bare hands...he turned into a Lynch by doing that. Eventually we got the hand, and were allowed to make our characters. I became a wood elven rouge with duel shotguns, and a bow (our DM said we could use modern weapons), then we enter a tavern, see a hooded figure enter, and our DM, who was also a character, told us to flee out the window. After a while we discover a cave, and enter it. We see the same hooded figure from before, and it turns out, that the guy was a Mind Flyare (I forget how it’s spelled). We figured it out thanks to our Teafling, who shot an arrow, braking the illusion. Then, the most idiotic thing happened, I rolled for initiative, got a crit fail, and rolled a two on fear. I ran into the forest, and I left a “trail” behind me, if you get it. The fight never even got to end because of this stupid virus.

IIRC, most of the smite stuff just requires a weapon attack, not an attack with a weapon. And unarmed strikes are weapon attacks. So while Booming Blade or Magic Weapon are off the table, smites are kosher.
ROFL
I can't believe I didn't think of this with my Paladin... I've got a level 20 paladin that ended up with a curse that turned his right arm completely metal, like Cable. Our DM allowed me to use it as a weapon since it's a freakin' piece of metal, but I also never thought to setup double smite on the arm... And here I was going around punching dragons when I could have been DESTROYING dragons by fisting.
giggity.
You got to play a level 20 character!
I'm jealous...
I could swear Green-Flame Blade scaled with total level and not spellcaster level, so it would be 3d8 fire damage or something instead of 1d8. Not counting that, awesome!
you can go even higher with 2 in paladin, 1 in warlock and 17 in cleric. i got up to 554 damage. i think only a Tarrasque can survive that. but i think allys buffs can fix that.
TheBronf what was your build man?
i did the calulating and build several hours ago so forgive me for not fully explaining but i used the death domain cleric instead since you only need 2 lvs in paladin to obtain searing smite and that damage works the same was branding smite when using higher lv spells slots
i used every thing he had used after the class stuff as well so its mostly following the same thing but i made this build long ago just for giggles but allways wondered how it can be played for real.
i also used the death domain cleric since it gains a high damage channel divinity use by just expending it as well as access to lv 9 spell slots for searing smite to be at its highest possible die. to bad divine smite can only be used up to 5d8 (+1 for a undead/fiend) i used the orc like him and all items he also used as well but depending on how you view it on the potion and being a orc the die can be either doing the weapon die first to 3d6 then orc crit to be 9d6. or the other way around 3d6 on orc crit then add the extra 3 to 3d6. i did the other way since it makes more sense. i also did the same with vecnas hand due to it being part of the weapons die not added like a smite so by RAW it should be writchen as 9d6 slashing 18d8 cold. thats RAW though in my interpretation with how i seen sage advice with similiar situations as well as playing the game.
and cleric divine strike is betting then improved divine smite. if i made a mistake please inform me.
Per RAW, unarmed strikes do count as weapon attacks for the purposes of divine smite.
You forgot the extra damage from going up in levels to on green flame blade
You also forgot to take the hex spell from your one warlock level
Mickey Mouse I think you have to concentrate on Banishing Smite so Hex wouldn't be useful here.
this reminds me of the part in overlord when Ainz Ooal Gown fights Shalltear and before the fight starts Shalltear is frozen and Ainz just stands there for like 10 minutes buffing himself before he makes the first attack.
Still adamant a open hand monk can do more damage in one punch as a single con save can just reduce to 0. But fun video.
Yeah, but he phrased the question specifically to avoid that. "Without failed saving throws"
ANOTHER BLAINE! I am glad I came across you. It's not common
IKR. We're so lonely out in this big world
7:12 _Giant enemy crab...?_
Almost certain he was a throwaway character, but re-watch episode 1 lol
@@BlaineSimple As a fan of yours I hate to say this, but that statement was incorrect in every way conceivable. Crablante might just be the single most influential and important character in that entire anime. Not only were his actions the sole reason Saitama began their training to initiate the show in the first place, but had he not went on his revenge quest, Agoni would not have founded the hero's association on account of his grandson (the child Crablante attempted to murder.) Long story short, if not for Crablante, the entire plot of the anime they came from would literally cease to function.
This was such a fun idea to watch. Please do more like it!
Luck blade: *I’m about to end this whole mans career*
(Start)
Be glad that potion miscibility isn’t a thing in (official) 5e! (I still use the 1e potion miscibility tables when players are downing multiple potions)
Yeah, wish basically completely answers the "how much damage is maximum" question with infinity... Unless the dm says "no" to that, as it would break the game
If that's the case then 2 rules to add to that, if you wish for infinite damage then fine, however, you can't wish for infinite defense.
Someone else in the world might find themselves wishing for damage immunity but they can't wish for infinite damage.
If you 2 ever find each other and fight each other, you are both instantly deleted from the universe.
This would be because "the unstoppable" force and "the immovable" object cannot coexist.
By telling players this, they now know that they run a risky game.
When they use their infinite damage ability they might instantly destroy themselves and are forced to use caution.
Maybe an enemy bluffs them and has no injuries, has a history of being a powerful creature and fools them into believing that it has achieved immunity to all damage.
Now I wanna play this campaign, as that would be a really cool game of dnd
You could also argue that the Open Hand Monk's capstone ability quivering palm is the most possible damage you can do In a single attack because if it succeeds it always reduces the target to 0HP regardless of what it's currently on. 676 HP Tarrasque still goes down on one hit. But the video did state it wouldn't consider any effect that requires a saving throw
Yeah, just to nullify that feature. There'd be no video if that was the case, and even then you're hoping the enemy fails the save or doesn't have legendary resistance.
