morale bonuses to damage


Advice


What are some sources for morale bonuses to damage?
Including feats, traits, items, spells

From spells I know of:
Good hope
Dance of hundred/thousand cuts
Wrath/mass wrath


In a round about way (if you are using melee weapons): Rage. The Courageous weapon enhancement furthers this increase in damage.

Touch of Rage (Orc Bloodline) with the Community Minded/Optimistic Gambler trait can be very good as well when taken with the feat Eldritch Heritage.

Moment of Greatness (spell) can be quite nice as well.

Flagbearer (Feat) is +1 morale to attack, damage and saves, and can be doubled using the Banner of the Ancient Kings.

bardsong? Probably the most powerful.

Being very, very happy as you smash someone with a large club.

Bardsong is competence not morale
I meant morale to damage, not to strength, that is easy!
Moment of greatness just doubles, still doesn't add.

Flagbearer yeah I missed that, nice
Orc bloodline through eldritch is also nice

Still not found one I can use though:/

Any other?


Heroism is a +2 morale to attack rolls and damage.

Mindlessly Cruel is a trait that gives a +1 to damage whenever you are under the effects of a morale bonus, which stacks up with for instance the Nobility domain power (+2 morale to attack rolls, st's, skill checks etc for 1/2 cleric level)

Heroism doesn't grant to damge

Mindlessly cruel is trait bonus, not morale bonus

Domains yeah, they are a few as well as blessings etc but I'm mostly interested in feats/items/traits/spells though, not class abilities


ugh, what am I going on about

A quick search on archives of nethys gives

Feats:

War Blessing -> Destruction Blessing (though it requires a domain or mystery in order to take, and kinda sucks) gives 1/2 level as a morale bonus to damage rolls

Grudge Fighter gives a +1 Morale to damage & attack rolls vs anyone that attacks you (Orc)

Desperate Battler gives a +1 Morale to damage & attack if no allies are w/in 10 feet

Cruelty gives a +2 Morale to damage & attack rolls for 1 round whenever you deal bleed damage to an opponent, cause an opponent to suffer a fear or pain effect, or reduce an opponent’s hit points to 0 or fewer. You need to be a Zon-Kuthon worshipper though.

Berserker's Cry gives +1 to damage rolls to all w/in 30 feet for 1/2 level + cha modifier, requires Cha 13

Spells:

Blood Rage gives a +2 morale bonus to Strength per 5 points of damage taken,(up to a +10 str), which indirectly goes to damage, I guess.

Blood Scent has some strange wording, but it states that "Orcs and any creature under the effects of rage gain a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against creatures they can smell with this spell, or a +4 morale bonus if the target’s blood counts as a strong scent."

Might help?

would you look at that. Changed bardsong to a competence bonus.I just saw morale bonus vs fear and carried it over without thinking about it. Never noticed it before. Hah! learn something new after these years.

Dance of a Hundred Cuts gives 1/3 lvl as a morale bonus to Attack, Damage, Acrobatics, and AC.

at cost of only getting 1 attack, for the most part. Mmm.

I believe you can attack OR move 10 ft in a round.


so a full attack will let it work and stay up since you make an attack. Or moving, or attacking with 1 attack.


it is either attack or move 10ft, but i have it listed on my first post already


It is not one of the types you listed but I'll include it for others who might look for moral bonuses to damage:

The Groupleader/Bellflower-tiller PrC at second level gets:

Group leader wrote:

Group Defense (Ex)

At 2nd level, a Group Leader receives a +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls made against creatures that threaten members of her group.

At 4th level and every two levels thereafter, these bonuses increase by +1, to a maximum of +5 at 10th level.

p.s. Bellflower tiller is the original name, group leader the d20pfsrd name.


The 'Designating' ranged weapon magical property, available in both lesser and greater versions. Gives morale bonuses to hit and damage to allies in melee with the target hit by the ranged weapon.

An excellent property for gunslingers to get because then the other PCs want you to shoot their enemies (once per round, anyway).

Order of the Cockatrice Cavaliers get a +1 per 4 levels morale bonus to damage rolls against their challenged target if they are the only one threatening it.


Found another myself, the gloves from acg , something like gloves of marking, grant +2/+2 att/dam for all allies for 1min on a crit from a piercing finessable weapon (also shaken)
