Did anyone wrote some kind of read aloud text for the Visions of Jade (p.50) at the end of The Brinwall Legacy?

If so would you accept to share it . . .

Thanks

I
A player in my campaing wrote a formula that tells you wen it's beneficial to make a power attack(to maximise your damage).
We thaught it was pretty funny to see the tings we do wen we miss a game or two so I decided to post it here.

The formula is writen in english but in my group were all French Canadian so the explanation were in French.
I did my best to translate them but if you dont understand tell me and I'll try to be more precise.

IF Target_AC < 21 + AB - PA_Penalty - Average_DMG/M - 5/2*(Nb_att -1)
THEN use power attack.

AB: attack bonus without power attack

PA_Penalty: The penalty from power att. (-1 fist level and -1 from every 4 level of Base att. Bonus) (if PA_Penalty = 4 means you take -4 on your attack)

Average_DMG = Average damage the guy make with this weapon (ex: d8+5 = 9,5 of Average_DMG)

M: The multiplier of the power attack (if two handed M =3, one handed M =2, if off-hand, M=1)

Nb_att: the # of attacks the pc get this round (excluding flurry of blows or haste)

Exemple:
Thestosthérosthène (fighter level 1) as +6 to hit for 1d8+6 DMG.
Following this rule if he wants to maximise his damage

Target_AC < 21+6-1- 10,5/3 - 0 = 22,5

That means that the Pc make a power attack on any foes that as an AC inferior to 22.

Is there a freak on this board who can prove him wrong?

. . . And don't tell me that a formula like this take the fun out of the game I already know that. Just dont take it to seriously it's not a philosophical debate.

In my last game we had an argument over channel energy.

I think that you need to be heard to make a channel energy but I dont find it anywere in the PFRPG.

Anybody knows if it's possible to make a Channel E. in a silence?
