Power attack ???

jackal2513 · 11-15-2002, 07:21 AM

is it power attack ? the feat where you subtract a number off your attack roll ( i think ?) to add to your damage roll ???

people say this is a good feat but cant see how myself cos you'll have less chance of hitting the person. Also, does it only count for 1 attack ? Am i missing something ?

I miss the whirlwind attacks etc.. in IWD

also, i cant seem to get cleave for any of my fighters , its always greyed out ???

regards

Yeah, power attack lets you take from 1 to 5 away from your BAB, and add it to your damage rolls. It's good when you are against something weak that you know you can hit with a BAB penalty - or against something you've incapacitated somehow (slept, stunned, etc) that you can hit automatically.

Also it's a prerequisite to taking Cleave, so if you don't yet have power attack, that's why it's greyed out.

I have Cleave. Great Cleave, Power attack and MAX Damage feats. In heavy battles with multiple enemies the damage passed out is awesome.

I do lower the Power attack if I am fighting a boss type creature (Avatar?) any miss attacked roll and you could be raising your tank from the dead. LOL.

Once you set power attack on, it stays on until you change it or turn it off. Same for Rapid Shot.

Also, the hit on attack bonus means less over time, as your fighter gains levels and goes up in strength.
