My ranger uses dual shields and is a kinda solid melee, favoring undead right now. Cleric is a typical supportive character devoting himself to Pharasma, with a channel Positive Energy build. Halcyon Duid is a build that have access to druid, cleric and wizard spells but having no domain nor companion.
Jae Wolftail wrote: Nonlethal damage is HP damage that can just doesn't kill the target therefore, power attack works for merciful weapons, normally nonlethal weapons, and blunt weapons effected by the bludgeoner feat, as does piranha strike for light weapons under the same circumstances. When you take nonlethal damage, keep a running total of how much you’ve accumulated. Do not deduct the nonlethal damage number from your current hit points. It is not “real” damage. Instead, when your nonlethal damage equals your current hit points, you’re staggered (see below), and when it exceeds your current hit points, you fall unconscious. This is what is said in CRB which tells that Nonlethal damage is not HP damage
This might be a stupid question, but Power Attack feat says Touch Attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage could not use this feat. Thus, Is Nonlethal Damage from Merciful weapon such a “effect” that could not use this feat or a “attack” that could use this feat although it does not deal hit point damage? |
