Furious Focus (Combat)
Even in the midst of fierce and furious blows, you can find focus in the carnage and your seemingly wild blows strike home.
Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1.
Benefit: When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer Power Attack's penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity.
Can someone tell me why this should apply only to 2-handed attacks? Or why it shouldn't apply to 1-handed? Sword and board is already disadvantaged against 2-handing, and this just makes it worse.
And for that matter, why not on unarmed or natural attacks?
I allow it my home game since I don't see the logic in the THF getting the nice toys. As I said I don't see the logic, I can't offer any idea why they did it that way.
Huh. For the past year the Inquisitor in my group has been using Furious Focus with her one-handed scimitar and I had no idea that wasn't technically legal. Guess that means that's one more accidental house rule to add to the pile. :P
