<p>Assuming Rydge is a better god, than Ridge was a mortal, jokes about low bars might be made freely. No doubt he would be utterly confused at first, but then begin granting spells hoping to do SOME good by empowering a few brave souls in need so they could do some good personally before he was inevitably destroyed by pineapple on pizza loving writers for Paizo. Rydge would also develop the unfortunate tendency to speak of himself in the third person, another reason he would be an unpopular god and likely to get the cosmic axe fast!

<p>It was a five person group:

Evil Eye Witch: 504 damage over 20 fights</p>
<p>Witch used occult spell list and was engaged in debuffing. Overall, this was one of the reason I implemented my caster house rules. Prepared casters with bad weapon choices really can be outdamaged by quite a large margin, especially when they can't use top level spells when needed.</p>
<p>Storm Druid with Archer Archetype: 1533 damage over 20 fights</p>
<p>This is the campaign that made me go, "Damn. Druids are powerful in this edition."</p>
<p>The druid was built with a bow, tempest surge, wild shape order explorer, primal blasting, and doing this much damage while healing and being the primary medic with occasional debuffs like slow.</p>
<p>Druid's damage was a combination of bow weapon damage, wild shape martial damage, blasting, and use of focus spells.</p>
<p>Precision Archer Ranger with Wolf Animal Companion: 1192</p>
<p>Ranged damage is usually less than martial and less than magic. Ranger has scaling issues with Hunt Prey and the majority of damage done at higher level is multitarget fighting lots of high hit point equal to lower CR creatures. </p>
<p>Wit Swashbuckler with Rapier: 1383</p>
<p>Swashbuckler did better than I thought. He really started to improve his damage at higher level with Perfect Finisher. This led to almost a crit every fight for huge damage. He really closed the gap in the last few battles. If you can get to level 14 as a Swash and pick up Perfect Finisher, you will go from feeling pedestrian to really powerful.</p>
<p>Giant Instinct Barbrian with a Heavy Pick: 1586</p>
<p>They hit things for a lot of damage. Crits were pretty insane.</p>

I'd be curious to find out if anybody keeps track of damage made possible by Buff/Debuff actions.

Any bonus/penalty that turned a miss into a hit, a hit into a crit, a crit success into a success etc. Obviously, this kind of data is much harder to gather in game, but I do know that 3 or 4 times a game, my Bard's Inspire courage makes misses into hits.</p>Deriven Firelion wrote:After reading scallywag's post, I was going over my old damage data.

From the description: "A Medium tree suddenly grows in an unoccupied square within range. The tree has AC 10 and 10 Hit Points... The tree isn't large enough to impede movement through its square.</p>
<p>If the tree is in soil and survives to the end of the spell's duration, it remains as an ordinary, non-magical tree, and continues to grow and thrive."</p>
