In 4e I think about 30 in combat skills for extreme threats e.g. avatar of Lloth, hellacious NPCs etc.

In 3e I don't remember but basically ridiculously high spell skills, like 60+, because I used house rules that a) allowed a skill penalty to speed up casting and b) skills > 16 provided a bonus to the Rule of 16. So it was advantageous for mages to have one crazy high killer spell skill. Also, mental skills were cheaper at 2 points per level.
