Thanks to @MakioKuta for this art piece!

By this point, we know most of what the Mighty Nein is capable of in combat, so time to revisit one of our old favorites: Max Damages!

As a reminder, this is the total amount of damage each character can deal to a single target during their turn, assuming no resistances or vulnerabilities, but allowing spells and effects to carry over from a previous round. For simplicity’s sake, no one gets any reactions, either. This also assumes the completely insane situation where everyone rolls the maximum number on each damage die, all attacks crit, and targets fail all saving throws.

Level 20 characters are capable of dealing out insane amounts of damage (since, y’know, they tend to fight gods/demigods and are basically gods themselves).
