Small ice elementals and Power Attack

[Duncan Forsyth]

Hmm. Am I missing something here? Small ice elementals have a strength of 12, and the feat Power Attack has a prerequisite of strength 13. That's in order for the feat to be selected ... or used.

So ... why do small ice elementals have the Power Attack feat?

Well, they made the rest and when they lowered it to small forgot it can't use the feat without it being a bonus feat.

So switch it to WF Slam, dodge, toughness, or ability focus Numbing cold.

Or just switch it to piranha strike. Exactly the same thing, no str requirement.

Except that Piranha Strike requires Weapon Finesse. Also, it loses out on the bonus damage for attacking with a primary natural weapon that adds 1.5xStr to damage.

Just raise its 12 Strength to 13. Then you don't have to recalculate or change anything, the rest of the creature would stay the same.
