that pretty much sums up my question

so vital strike seems odd to me, just straight up double weapon dmg? now i see its a standard action so i cant make multiple attacks that turn, but can i do a vital strike powerattack cleave? and it would still be a standard action? that seems way OP. for my lvl 7 fighter thats basically an extra 2d8 +6 dmg that hits everything ( viscious strike +great cleave)

is there some way you can add your strength bonus to AC? through feats or magic items or spells (maybe storing a permanent spell in an item?)

i have a lvl 7 fighter with 23 AC (full plate +2, ring of prot +1, dex mod +1)

so 23 AC isnt as much as id like, looking for more

so cleave is a standard action, and i dont see anything online saying if if a powerattack modifies an attack like that. so does this mean i can move, then do a powerattack cleave all in 1 turn?
