Tiger Claws, Strength, Magic and Power Attack

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

The martial arts style feat Tiger Claws says, as part of its benefit: <br /><br />

Benefit: While you are using the Tiger Style feat and have both hands free, you can use a full-round action to make a single unarmed strike with both hands. Use your highest base attack bonus, rolling unarmed strike damage for each hand separately and multiplying both if you score a critical hit. If you use Power Attack in conjunction with this attack, can add half your Strength bonus to one of the damage rolls.

<br /><br />

What does a monk add as damage mods to this attack? It states it is an unarmed strike with both hands. Do I add strength bonus x1.5 like a two handed weapon attack? It also goes on to say rolling unarmed damage for each hand separately. So, instead of adding strength bonus x 1.5 like a 2H weapon attack, should I add strength bonus twice, once for each hand since both hands struck as part of the single attack roll?
<br /><br />

Along a similar line, if I have an Amulet of Mightly Fists +1, do I add +2 onto the damage since both hands hit and the benefits says rolling unarmed damage for each hand separately, not 'unarmed damage dice' or 'base unarmed damage'. What if I have an energy type added to my damage? Add it once or add it twice? My 'unarmed strike damage' = my base dice damage + str bonus + magic bonus + et. al. (flaming, etc.), so telling me to roll unarmed strike damage for each hand separately makes it sound very much like I'm rolling like I struck the person with two separate attacks, which means everything that I've got coming to me is getting added into each unarmed damage strike.

<br /><br />
Now, Power Attack. The benefit says, concerning PA: If you use Power Attack in conjunction with this attack, can add half your Strength bonus to one of the damage rolls. What it fails to cover is whether this is considered a pair of one handed or a single two handed attack with PA. Am I adding the +2 per 4 BAB twice, like 2 1 handed PAs, or am I adding +3 per 4 BAB once, like a 2H PA?

Also, I'm guessing that, since Tiger Claw requires a full round action and is not a full attack action, we can't spend a ki point to gain an additional attack in the same round, yes?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Has anybody had ANY experience with applying damage while using Tiger Claw?

[Raje]

It's not a two-handed attack. It's two one-handed attacks, you just use one attack roll for both and do roll the damage separately. You use Tiger Claws and use full action and roll to hit, if hit you roll damage twice (ie once for each hand), but you only add your extra (normal unarmed) dmg from power attack to one of those - if a crit you multiply each one.

As you can see, you're just "over-thinking" it. It's quite straight forward.

You can only use ki to gain an extra attack while flurrying. Tiger Claws isn't flurry.

This is about to come up for me tonight in a game. So I'm interested in seeing if I understand this correctly. I have a Master of Many Styles with Dragon Style, Dragon Ferocity, Tiger Style, and Tiger Claws. And Power Attack. I have an Unarmed Fighter 1/Master of Many Styles 2

On a full attack, with power attack, it seems like I would do the following:

First damage roll:
1d6
+6 (Dragon Style gives 1.5 times strength on the first damage roll)
+2 (Dragon Ferocity gives +2 on all unarmed attack rolls)
+2 (Power Attack)
+2 (Tiger Claws adds 50% strength to one damage roll when you use power attack)

Second damage roll:
1d6
+4 (Strength)
+2 (Dragon Ferocity)
+2 (Power Attack)

So basically, barring any DR, a full attack is doing 2d6+20

Is this correct?

What happens if you don't have hands?
