  1. See graph of RAW stuff here, though it doesn't have two-handed melee (the difference compared to my numbers is crits which I've ignored for simplicity): https://www.reddit.com/r/3d6/comments/rw59nt/baselines_math_a_reddit_guide_2/hrkgfzu/
  2.  
  3. I've juggled the level req for these a bit, so these were done assuming +4 stat, or +3 for the raw options that have to give up the ASI (assuming vuman), with extra attack. If you didn't get a free ASI comparatively (two if you include power attack), these would probably be fine level 6, where I originally had them.
  4.  
  5. No cleave, brace, cover bypass, none of the riders or unreliable additional effects. This benefits TWF in particular. Also no GWF fighting style since it's often eschewed, and I have a homebrew for it. Treat them as having +1 AC when imagining their impact more broadly.

  56. So full damage two-handed melee builds can do 26. 10-20% behind that falls basically everything else, with varying degrees of extra benefits like range, free hands, more spread out damage, synergy with various class features, reach, situational bonus attacks, etc.
