..actually the most damage you can get is a "smite" attack (with all the Epic Smites + high Charisma + many levels of Paladin/Divine Champion) that scores a critical while using a scythe 2-handed and has lots of additional strength damage and Improved Enhanced Power Attack. Something close to 800 ..if I remember correctly.

The base damage of a warhammer is itself 1d8 - so a critical alone at x3 for this weapon is up to 24. Of course with other sources of damage (like strength modifier) it can easily get up to 80 in one hit.

The thing to remember however is that weapons with higher critical multipliers have a much smaller range to achieve that critical.. so while you can score more damage in a single hit than with other weapons, you won't achieve that sort of damage very often.

here is a weapon listing:

Weapon - NWN2Wiki, the Neverwinter Nights 2 wiki - Races, classes, skills, and more

Note that the multiplier on the Scythe is x4.. BUT it's threat range is 20, or just a 1 in 20 chance of getting a critical. Improved Critical (feat) or Keen (enchantment or spell) drops the range by one increment. So if you have Improved Critical Scythe (and are using a Scythe), then the range is 19/20 or a 1-in-10 chance of getting a critical. Note that Improved Critical and Keen don't work together, it's one or the other - not both. The only feat that lowers the range further is from a Weapon Master (lvl 7) via Ki Critical.


A high strength Frenzied Berserker build with Scythe and Improved Enhanced Power Attack can usually achieve a critical well beyond 100 per hit at even modest levels. Here is an OC only build that is structured for high single attack damage:

Here is a build that leverage criticals even more.. though has more flaws (..and achieves those critical advancements at a point where their worth is dubious in the OC):

damn scott your the man. are there any weapon mods out there, that add new weapons? and also are the heavy flails bugged? it says 1d10 when you look at the item, but when you look on your char info it says 1d8

It's supposed to be 1d8, there are several "sheet" descriptions in-game that are wrong.

I've never used it:

Neverwinter News, Trailers, Screenshots, Previews, Reviews, Guides -- Neverwinter Nights 2 Vault

I'll be removing the builds (posted here) in a day or so, so if you have any interest in either you might try your own on the builder site before I remove them.
