What you are asking basically is if Greater sunder is tied only to the manouver of Improved Sunder. The key with "Greater Sunder" is this part of the description: "You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to sunder an item." It suggests that you get all the bonuses from that trait not only when you perform an manouver, but at all instances of sundering - sundering strike included. There is nothing in the rules that says Greater Sunder applies only to Improved Sunder. Personally i think there should be, but if there is no errata I guess that part is intended. Sundering strike connected with Power attack and an adamantine weapon is VERY overpowered. You basically hit the guy for 50% more damag eand destroy his weapon in the process. Connect that with whirlwind attack and you get a meatgrinder.
I have a question about the rules of spells such as magic armor, or summoning an eidolon. What happens if the character becomes unconscious? Do the spells stay or are they immediately dismissed?
So ive created a fighter, mostly a controller that mows down the skeletons when my mates take down the big baddie. Ive taken whirlwind attack and am currently thinking on taking power attack. But in the whirlwind attack description theres: "When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities." Does that mean the bonus damage from power attack does not apply? Im just trying to make sure because it seems unclear to me. |
