TOPIC: 10 Token Challenge - Max To-Hit + To Damage

Eric and I were having a spirited discussion on another thread, it led me to wonder what the best 10 token build is.

Rules:

* Objective is to get the highest to-hit + to-damage in either Melee or Ranged using only 10 tokens on the character card
* Therefore no one room effects or consumables are counted, for example Wish Ring +5 damage for one Combat isn't counted
* No artifacts, Cogwind Gear boons, TDC or Golden Ticket run temporary bonuses, or Divine Favors

Scoring is as follows:

* +1 point for each point of to-hit bonus
* +1 point for each point of to-damage bonus

For fun, please also list out special abilities of your attacks (e.g. damage types, no 50% miss chance vs. undead, 2 pucks, etc.).

Please post your totals and build below.

Winner gets eternal glory and the adulation of the crowd.

Barbarian:

51 points.

+18 to-hit melee
+33 to-damage melee

Deals Cold, Edlritch, and Sacred, and any 3 types from runestones.

Ignores damage reduction.

Build:

Cleric:

39 points

+17 to hit
+22 to damage

Crits on 18-20, including against things that can't normally be critted.

Deals Cold, Fire, and Eldritch damage, and any 3 types from runestones.

Ignores damage reduction.

As a bonus, 15 spells!

Monk

41 points

+19 to hit
+22 to damage

Slides 2 pucks

Deals cold, eldritch, and poison damage

Ignores damage reduction



If one wanted to be super sneaky, one could drop the 2nd Viper Strike Fang, and since the party card only tracks your best weapon for the mail dungeon, you can get to:

43 points

+19 to hit
+24 to damage

Slides two pucks

Deals Cold, Fire, Eldrtich, and Poison

Ignores damage resistance

Melee Ranger

39 points

+17 to hit
+22 to damage

Slides 2 pucks

Deals cold, fire, eldrtich, and poison

Ranged Ranger:

36 points

+23 to hit
+13 to damage

Crits on 18-20

Deals Darkrift, Eldritch damage

Ignores damage reduction.




I'd note that the Cleric build is 3 points more hit/damage, crits on the same crit range, crits things normally immune to crits, and has 15 spells.

And the Wizard?

Ooooh, I'll play!

Inc glass cannon Rogue build in 3...2...1.....

Of course, this would be good for one shot unless you swapped the dagger out for a Mighty item, but then you lose +1 to hit.

Lol. It's awesome that the highest hit/damage ranged ranger doesn't include the Io's bow. Nicely done!

Maybe I'll do it this weekend. Won't focus on that messy melee or combat stuff. I'll focus on real, arcane magic-based damage!
