FB10/barb10

STR 34 (48 while rage+ frenzy)

Charging with leap attack & valorous weapon blowing 20 AC on power attack (combat brute feat lets you do that)

Greatsword (2d6)
+19STR mod*1.5 +5 enhancement +2 Beserking weapon *2 valorous weapon= 71
Power att. 20*5 = 100 (2-handed weapon, supreme power att. + leap attack + valorous weapon.)
total: 171 dmg?

It's the Shock Trooper feat you're talking about, though.

08-14-06, 01:44 PM Here's how it works:

Weapon 7
Str 19
Enhancement 5
BW 2
Power Att 20*8=160
Valorous weapon x2

Total 386

Or, in a different layout (square brackets are for labeling only):

(19 [str] + 7 [weapon average] + 2 [Beserking weapon] + 5 [enhancement] + ((20*4[FB])*2 [+100% power attack damage from leap attack]))*2 [Valorous Weapon double damage on a charge] = 386 total damage for one attack with your current setup on a charge.

It may seem like you are going against the DnD rule for addition of multipliers, but you are not. These things are multiplying different things (like trying to add 2a plus 3b), therefore can not be added but are in fact multiplied as per the normal rules of math.
