Powerful Charge (Ex) When a creature with this special attack makes a charge, its attack deals extra damage in addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge. The attack and amount of damage from the attack is given in the creature's description.

So my question, the thing I am not sure about is this:

When the Rhino does a Powerful Charge, Do you....

1. Roll the attack, add +2 for charge, (YOU GET A HIT) roll 2d8+13 for damage, then roll an additional 4d8+18, (adding powerful charge)???

OR

2. Roll the attack, add +2 for charge, (YOU GET A HIT) roll 4d8+18 for damage, (Since it was a powerful charge) (Using Powerful Charge Only)???

Thx, Darthslash

The Powerful Charge damage is not in addition to the base Gore damage.


I was 98% sure that's the way it was supposed to work, but I just wanted to make totally sure. Thx for the reply, and you are much smarter then I. Hehehe

Now, the real question is, how much damage does Power Attack do when you Powerful Charge?
