Monster maximum hit

The maximum hit of a monster is the highest amount of damage that a monster will inflict for a given attack style. If a player is hit by this monster, the player will receive damage up to and including this amount. The amount of damage done is not affected by a players defence level. There are certain ways to reduce the amount of damage through protection, such as prayer.

Monsters with more than one attack style (ex. melee and magic), may have two different maximum hit levels for each attack style. This information is useful for players that can protect from a certain style of attack with prayer.
