05-28-07, 02:40 PM OK so here's the situation Favored power attack says "Add Twice the Number of Dice you Subtract from your attack to your damage" and "Leap Attack says "you can double the extra damage dealtby use of your power attack". My question is; is this a case of two multipliers and I just multiply the extra damage by 3 or is this a case were as soon as I subtract say the from attack it becomes 6 if I'm attacking a favored enemey and then is doube to 12 if I use leap attack?

05-28-07, 03:04 PM My DMs not to harsh and I just came across the combo trying to fill up to feat slots but I'm sure I can talk him into it. If I write him a good enough back story he'll let me do just about anything I just try not to take advantage so I wanted to know if it was kosher.

I'll have to check the errata for Leap Attack like you said but from what is in the boks I'd probably doube the bonus and then double the total damage. ANy other DMs of the same or differing opinion. (Mind you this is a character with only a +1 strength bonus fighting with Kukri which are 1d4 to start with).

05-28-07, 03:07 PM Since you can't apply power attack damage to a kukri anyway, I'd say you don't need to worry about it :)

If I remember the FPE right, I would myself give a character with both feats a 3:1 ratio for a 1H weapon and a 5:1 for a 2H weapon.
