#2 mellored Feb 23, 2015 21:01:45	yes. it also applies to your divine strike.
#3 brettlangbdl Mar 08, 2015 21:01:40	Its a very cool ability. With call lightning for the cleric as a 5th-level spell.. that's 50 damage for your first two strikes.. and the ability refreshes on a short rest..
#4 RubenRybnikk Mar 09, 2015 5:00:31	Yes it is cool. MC into sorcerer, take two levels of fighter. Just imagine using it with chain lightning twice in one turn. That is over 1,000 damage.

We'll go with maximized draconic picks so u get to add 5 more.  So 170 damage to 4 targets for a total of 680 damage and they get 2 saves to mitigate.    Not really a very good combo.
