Two-Handed Weapon Problem


Rules Questions


I didn't select the Elven Curve Blade primarily for this feature, but I am wondering if I can increase my damage with one point. So the Elven Curve Blade is a two-handed weapon, and you add a number of points equal to Strength mod. x 1.5 to your damage roll. What if I have only a +1 modifier to Strength, do I add 1.5? That would be the first time I'd add half of a point of damage...


Numbers in PF get rounded down. So with just a +1 str it doesn't change anything.
Power attacking adds +3 instead of a +2 though with TH weapon.


There is no such thing as a half a point of damage, or anything else. You always round down (unless the specific ability says to round up) to the nearest whole number.

With a strength bonus of +1, you still only add +1 to damage when wielding a 2-handed weapon. (1 x 1.5 = 1.5, rounds down to 1)


Ok, thanks for the answers.
