Okay, the wording of leap attack and the errata are both horrible!
I was wondering how people think leap attack should be ran and how it should be combined with combat brute, and other abilities like the improved power attack that the frenzy berserker has.
As far as I can tell the RAI is for THF
Normal: 1:2
Leap attack- 1:3 ratio
Combat Brute- 1:3 ratio
Leap Attack+Combat Brute- 1:4 ratio
The problem though is the wording of "x3" or "three times" with two handed weapons in these feats. There was an errata for leap attack, but it didn't address the two handed weapons damage very well.
Any way, what is your take on this?
I'm pretty sure there is a sidebar somewhere that says multiple multiples aren't multiplied, but added. So if 2 effects each double the damage, the damage is tripled, not quadrupled. And if 2 effects triple the damage, the damage is x5, not x9.
So your interpretation is probably right.
Probably.
Add another vote for adding them together - that's how my group always played with the Leap Attacking barbarian and it worked out fine.
Where is the combat brute feat

Ummm. Triple for just one feat is fine, but if you add another triple from another two weapon fighting would be x4 then right, not still triple?
Yes, that is correct.
Since there is no "type" associated with this type of thing stacking rules don't come into play.
I suppose a really hard ass GM could say that they are both just giving three times and overlap, but I don't think that flies in my book...
Don't forget to have them take shock trooper and valorous weapon for more fun yet.
