Fighter's Power Attack Class Feat Wording

[vale_73]

Hi everybody, and happy summer!
What does "This counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty", about the Power Attack Fighter Class Feat? Does it mean that if you use Power Attack as your first action it is made at 0, and then if you Strike as your third action (since PA counts as two attacks) that Strike is at -10? Or does it mean that even if you use PA as your fist action, it is made at -5?
Many thanks!

The attack following Power Attack is made at -10.

Multiple Attack Penalty (I'm going to call this MAP from here on) is 0 on your first attack, -5 on your second and -10 on the third and all additional attacks (gained from haste or whatever).

Power Attack is your first attack and suffers no penalty, but it counts as two attacks for the MAP. this basically skips the -5 penalty and goes right to -10 for your next attack(s).

Not quite, that is an enhancement and only takes effect on a success. So, PA only counts as tow attacks if it hits, if you miss, your next attack is at -5.
