Combat Manuevers on Iteratives


Rules Questions


Suppose my character is an 6th level fighter and I take the full attack option.

One my first attack, I make a regular attack with my weapon. On my second, I attempt a combat manuever (assume I have the right feat to avoid provoking an AoO).

Is my combat manuever bonus reduced by 5 because I attempted the manuever on my iterative attack? Or, is it still at the normal CMB???

Thanks in advance!!

Why *wouldn't* it be reduced by 5?


Agreed. Part of your cmb is your bab... Which would be 5 lower than the original attack. So your cmb would naturally also drop by the same number.


Thanks you.

Just wanted to make sure how it worked before we start using CMB and CMD with iteratives in our game for the various manuevers.

On my homemade character sheet, I only included a spot for 1 CMB value. And, didn't consider iterative values. But, it's easy enough to figure on the fly. -5 for each attack after the first.
