Mythic Power Attack

Quote:

Your attacks are truly devastating.

Prerequisite: Power Attack, 1st mythic tier.
Benefit: When you use Power Attack, you gain a +3
bonus on melee damage rolls (instead of +2). When
your base attack bonus reaches +4 and every 4 points
thereafter, the amount of bonus damage increases by +3
(instead of +2). In addition, the bonus damage from this
feat is doubled on a critical hit.

Two Questions:

1. By RAW I don't see any penalty for off-hand weapons.

2. By RAW I don't see any bonus for two-handed weapons.

Are my interpretations correct?


No, the Power Attack feat gives you a +2 to damage for every -1 to hit, an extra 50% increase in damage non-light weapons wielded in two hands and STR and a half natral attacks and 50% penalty on off-hand attacks and secondary natural attacks.

The Mythic Power Attack replaces the +2 damage from the normal feat with a +3.

Humbly,

Mythic Power Attack makes no statement regarding two-handing weaponss, which already has +3 damage for -1 to hit. It also makes no statement regarding off-hand weapons, which would normally only have +1 damage per -1 to hit.


So basically, if you're using a two handed weapon, you *DON'T* want Mythic Power Attack? That seems... odd.

It doesn't have to. Devs assume people are not literally minded. Mythic power attack works the same as regular power attack except that the +2 is replaced with a +3.

Read ANY rules discussion on these forums.

People are very litteral minded when it comes to RAW. I make the arguement now so it does not have to be made after Mythic is published. If the intention is for Mythic Power Attack to behave the same as Power Attack, that needs to be clarified.
