Power Attack's bonus damage only applies to effects that deal hit point damage. I attack a monster that has DR 5. I deal 5 damage. When is the Power Attack damage applied? Is the damage applied when damage is calculated? My attack does 5 + 2 damage, I deal 7 damage and 2 gets through DR. or My attack does 5 damage, gets reduced by 5 to zero, and then I do not get Power Attack bonus and deal zero damage to the monster. Thoughts?
Hypothetically speaking, what are the RAW consequences of this? Hand of the Apprentice:
You cause your melee weapon to fly from your grasp and strike a foe before instantly returning to you. As a standard action, you can make a single attack using a melee weapon at a range of 30 feet. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, except that you add your Intelligence modifier on the attack roll instead of your Dexterity modifier (damage still relies on Strength). This ability cannot be used to perform a combat maneuver. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier. Net Adept:
You can treat a net as a one-handed melee reach weapon with a 10-foot reach. Further, you take no penalty on melee attack rolls for using an unfolded net, and you can use one full-round action or two move actions to fold a net. Option 1: The net is not actually a melee weapon, even though you treat it like one. It is not eligible for HoA. Option 2: You treat nets like 1H melee weapons and this qualifies it for use with Hand of the Apprentice. If I hit a create with the net, does it become ensnared? Does the net untangle itself and "instantly return to me"? What returns to me: the net or the trailing rope? |
