Most damage

How much damage have you been able to done with one strike (spell, item, backstabb, anything goes)?

Just this morning I managed to get 1049 points to Shadow fiend using Daystar's Sunray ability. [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

And screenshot if you have hard time believing it. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Thats unbelievable!!!!! I have never made that much damage to anyone!!!

Me neither before. I think that could be a bug or something, 'cause it shouldn't do that much damage to even undead. It was something like 6d6 to undead, IIRC. Could somebody clarify me are the shadows counted as undead?

Shadows are undead.

Take a look here for some severe damage screenshots. ADD] ToB Spoilers

The Sunray's damage against Undead does not really count, since it is just a means to bypass the fact that Undead are immuned to instant-death effects from spells.

Hence you will see the Mace of Disruption and Azuredge do nothing spectacular when they instant-kill an Undead as they are weapons. Sunray is a spell and cannot imitate the weapons, hence the huge damage.

Jim's experiment in the link that pcgiant gave, is the single most damaging, valid and legitimate strike in the whole game.

Hm.. didn't know that. Well, sorry, my mistake. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wonder, though.....could you exceed that damage by, say, Dual-wielding? It would be more than one strike, yes, but I think it would still count as one single attack.

My personal highest damage dealt (disallowing things like Sunray) was, oddly enough, in BG1 rather than BG2. Fighter Dualed to Thief at Level 6; Critical Quadruple Backstab. On a MAGE, who had only BG1-scale hitpoints. 144 points of damage. Ouch.

That's not bad at all Six.

I suspect that the best would involve a Staff of Striking though (in BG1, in SoA+ToB, well, check pc_giant's screenshot

). I'll do the calculations, but how does it calculate criticals (xWhat) in the engine.

1049, eh. Strange that it could sometimes be the damage of the CTRL+Y, no?
