[OOC] Rise Of The Runelords: Anniversary Edition!

[Kostvel]

Okay, I'll play it safe then otherwise.

[Kostvel]

Also, before I post it, just a quick clarification on one of my feats.

Power Attack

Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a one handed weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls. This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon.

When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2.

You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.

So this is saying that since my melee attack bonus is five, I gain an extra 2 damage on the damage roll, but another -1 on the penalty. So does that mean that if I use this feat, I will deal +6 on the damage roll and suffer a -2 on the attack roll? (I would gain another +2 from 50%bonus from using a two handed weapon I believe.) I just wanted to make sure I had this right, because I'm going to do it if so.

[Blue Tempest]

No. When you start at level 1, its only an Attack penalty of -1 for a Damage Bonus of +2. It's only when your BAB reaches +4 that the penalty/bonus increases.

[Blue Tempest]

You use a Halberd. Normally for you it would be 1d20+5 for the attack and 1d10+4 for a normal attack or 1d10+6 for using it two handed.

If you declare a power attack, then it would be 1d20+4 for the attack and 1d10+6 for the normal attack and 1d10+9 for using it two handed.

Yeah, Fighters start out being damage beasts :p

[Kostvel]

Okay, give me a minute and I'll post it up. Doing a power attack, if it's not all that clear in my post.

[Kostvel]

The dice just want us to fail...

[Wraithblade6]

Kill them!

[Blue Tempest]

Kostvel, you didn't move your character on the map.

[Kostvel]

Sorry, on it.

[Loremaster]

I'm planing on moving after atacking but for that I need to know the result of my action (If I hit the goblin or not). So for this tipe of situation, I'm guessing its alright to ask here on the OOC if my attack hit? I rolled a 16 on Power attack, 20 on damage.

[Blue Tempest]

You can just say what you do wheather you hit or not.

[Loremaster]

But then I'd risk an AoO.

[Blue Tempest]

THen say what you would do if you get hit and what you do if you dont.

The point of this game is im not going to let you know ahead of time what happens before you do something. That's just cheating.

[Loremaster]

It wouldn't be cheating because the rolls would have already been made (easy to check all rolls made on orokos), but fine,.While I disagree with this choice I will try to fit conditionals on the IC.

[Blue Tempest]

Think of it as Playing Chess. Do you think Im going to tell you what I do next before you make a move?

[Loremaster]

Except on chess you don't have three different sequential actions on the same turn :p Besides I'm asking for the consequence of an act I 'already did'. But as I said, I'm ok with this even if I don't agree.

[Blue Tempest]

And what if its a consequence that you dont like? How do I know for sure you wont just "take it back"?

[Loremaster]

umm, because my actions are saved on orokos under my account name(just go to any off my previous linked attacks and click on loremaster, you will see all my rolls) so I can't just pretend I hadn't rolled? Only way my movement could be illegal from what I saw of the pathfinder rules is if two free actions can't be taken with a standard attack and a move action.

[Blue Tempest]

The point is, it sets a bad precedent if you wanna do an action and then ask me what happens before that action is actually declared.

[Loremaster]

Well true, but it does complicates things somewhat for when you want to attack and then move.What action would I take on the battle map if don't know if I move or not?(and on this matter how can I mark the square of a dropped bow?)
