Can Power Attack be used with a shield?


Rules Questions


I have a character that has 6 levels in fighter and 4 levels in Stalwart defender. As a result I have base two attacks (if I decide to do a full round action to only attack). However, a feat named Smash from the Stalwart defender class allows an additional attack as part of a full attack action. I usually use Power attack for my two normal attacks but I believe (if I’m not mistaken) that Power Attack continues until the beginning of your next turn, does that mean I get to use Power attack with the shield as part of the shield slam?
Thanks very much in advance.


Yes, all attacks till your next turn.


Thank you very much! Much appreciated!


Indeed not only can you but if you used power attack you HAVE to on all attacks.
