What all gets doubled when I charge with a Lance?


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Like the title says, what all gets multiplied?

I have a character in PFS that stacks bonuses and uses a Lance, and charges a lot. So, to make sure I'm not too broken I want to get the following bonuses cleared up for myself.

1 - Power Attack damage?

2 - Pheromone Arrow + Scent damage?

3 - Weapon Enchantments (things like Flaming or Vicious)


General, 90% accurate rule: extra dice do not multiply on charge or crit, everything else does.

I know of no exceptions to the rule for dice. Thwre are a very few cases where a static bonus is not multiplied, swashbuckler precise strike deed and a couple of traits are what I have come across.

Awesome, thanks man. I thought it was something like that but someone around here was saying Vicious might multiply so I had to check.


And I found the refernce, CRB, combat chapter, damage:

"Multiplying Damage: Sometimes you multiply damage by some factor, such as on a critical hit. Roll the damage (with all modifiers) multiple times and total the results.

Note: When you multiply damage more than once, each multiplier works off the original, unmultiplied damage. So if you are asked to double the damage twice, the end result is three times the normal damage.

Exception: Extra damage dice over and above a weapon's normal damage are never multiplied."
