Horn of the Criosphinx on a Two Handed Fighter


Rules Questions


Ok, so I'm wondering what the bonuses would be on this type of a character for charging and making an attack. Would they be 2.5x the strength bonus or 3x? I would THINK they'd be 3x because of rules regarding the Cavalier, the lance, and charging feats and abilities (when something tells you to double something that's already doubled, you just triple the base number).

That means that my half-orc who has a strength of 30 and is a two-handed fighter does 30 damage on the charge for his strength bonus alone?


I don't think they stack.


From the wording it doesn't look like they stack to me.
Both abilities are 'setting' your damage mod to 2x Strength. The Lance and spirited charge don't really set any precedent because they are multiplying total damage similar to a critical hit (and their mechanics are identical to critical hit multipliers).

You should probably ask your GM though. Ultimately he is the only one you have to convince.

As an aside: if your GM lets them stack, and you do take the lance/spirited charge stacking as a precedent, the total bonus would add up to 2.5x STR not 3x. Bonuses stack additively, not multiplicatively, so to figure out how much you get you add together the increase from baseline in each case. The increase in both of these abilities is +0.5x STR (2x from 1.5x), so the total is 1.5x + 0.5x + 0.5x


Alright, cool thanks guys!
