Sorry to resurrect this thread over a year later, but it didn't seem right to have two Amiri threads.
It looks to me like there's been a mistake on her character sheet (at all levels) since release: her attack bonus with her bastard sword is 1 lower than it should be. Here are my calculations:
Level 1: STR 4 + prof 3 = +7 (listed as +6)
Level 3: STR 4 + prof 5 + item 1 = +10 (listed as +9)
Level 5: STR 4 + prof 9 + item 1 = +14 (listed as +13)
My guess is that this discrepancy is due to the clumsy 1 condition from wielding a large weapon (I've seen people refer to suffering an "attack penalty" with giant instinct), but that's not what clumsy does. From CRB p618:
Quote:
Your movements become clumsy and inexact. Clumsy always includes a value. You take a status penalty equal to the condition value to Dexterity-based checks and DCs, including AC, Reflex saves, ranged attack rolls, and skill checks using Acrobatics, Stealth, and Thievery.
The bastard sword is not a ranged weapon, obviously, and the rules for wielding a large weapon don't impose any additional penalties (nor bonuses). Am I crazy here? How has this not been noticed in 15 months?
