You add it normally. So every attack that "hits" in this "one giant attack", means you add your Dice Damage + Mods. You add them all up to equal the damage. It's kind of a fantastic feature for fighting DR a little bit too.


Just roll everything like you were doing a normal full attack (although you put DR off until later).

How much total damage did the full attack do?

Does DR apply? Apply that once to the total full attack damage (instead to every hit).

The result is your damage.

And that is the reason why it is so good (other than pummeling charge)- it lets unarmed strikes, which normally have trouble avoiding DR and rely too heavily on a lot of small hits to deal damage (which would be just whittled down by DR), to just tell things like werewolves and demons to just stuff their fancy DR where Sarenrae don't shine. You just pool your full attack into one attack so it only ever sees DR once.

Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't downsides and countermeasures. Anything like concealment, which gives a fixed percentage chance to miss per hit, will ruin pummeling style (20% for your whole full attack to miss?).
