Pummeling Strike: It's Like God Hand


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

Before I ask, this is not a question as to whether I can Pummeling Style some poor goblin with a giant starknife, or whether I can put the hurt on an orc with a baseball bat. I'm playing a brawler in Iron Gods the way Ioun/Irori/Club/Odjn/Doomguy made us: She is going to beat a bunch of aliens to death with her bare hands.

Pummeling Strike's description text says that for each attack in your power punch that succeeds, you roll your damage normally. I'm also gonna be taking Power Attack, so here's the question:

Do you add the Power Attack damage at the end of the Pummeling Strike, or once for each successful attack roll? This could mean the difference between doing 48-300 and 168-420 damage (all before Strength modifier multiplied by 14) on a critical hit at level 20.

Grand Lodge

Personally I'd say apply power attack each time, as I'd argue that's part of the "normal" damage.


each hit has all modifiers to it and then add all the hits up.
