Mel and Aliana: So, it turns out Mel and Aliana know each other. The first met many years ago in a small village somewhere up north.
Mel was wandering, a young adventurer, traveling alone, on the way to rendezvous and coming into town to pick up some supplies for the journey ahead. When he came into a village there was some ruckus going on. It was an angry mob on a witch hunt; they had captured her and were getting ready to burn the poor maiden at the stake. Now Mel, being a rather large and sometimes misunderstood Barbarian, had suffered persecution himself in the so-called civilized world,. So, feeling sympathetic to the girl's plight, and seeing an opportunity to make some chaos, he decided to get involved, and broke up the mob, clobbered a few bullying villagers, and watched the rest run away.
The young witch turned out be Aliana, and villagers were right to fear her, for she had been manifesting magical powers and growing stronger in them. On the run together, they joined up with Mel's pals, a band of adventures in the highlands. They adventured together for some time, trekking across the highlands in search of monsters to slay, treasure to plunder, occasionally acting as mercenaries but mostly staying in the wild, never with a clear plan beyond the next adventure.
One particular encounter culminated in the lair of an evil Ogre Mage. In the thick of combat, their foe cast a teleport spell, scattering about half the party, including Aliana and 2 other, many miles away. Mel and his sole companion finally defeated the monster, but were badly wounded. It took them a long time to work their way back out of the mountains, and their attempts to locate and rejoin their fellows were repeatedly thwarted. Eventually Mel and his companion, a rogue, split company and Mel went on to other adventures...
Achieve Your Full Potential: Mel's theoretical maximum damage is
3 attacks per round, plus one more from haste, plus one more from cleave.
Improved critical: critical on 19 0r 20 (triple damage, assume all critical).
Weapon Great Axe +4: d12 +4, (assume he rolls a 12 every time).
Bonuses:
str: +7 (str is 24)
rage: +3 (barbarian class ability, +6 to raw strength score)
bull strength +2 (from wand)
axe: +4 (magic item)
power attack: +22 (base attack bonus x2 applied to damage)
Std. attack: 12 (damage) + 38 = 50, x 3 (critical) = 150 total per attack.
So, 150 * 4 = 600 HP theoretical maximum total damage in one round on a single opponent. One more for cleave on a second opponent brings us up to 750 in a round.
FYI, an average round with 4 hits will be something like 142 HP damage. This assumes the same bonuses as above but rolling all 7's for damage, no criticals, and no cleave.
