Circumstance bonuses to attack roll


Advice


I'm looking for ways for my front line Cleric to gain a circumstance bonus to attack rolls. Not looking for any Aid or other assistance that depends on other heroes, just straight up some sort of way to get a circumstance bonus all on my own. I've got a status and item bonus, just missing that coveted circumstance.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The only circumstance bonuses to attack I can think of are archetype feats that give it for an extra action and a specific attack. So Archer's Aim feat (so ranged attacks) from Archer archetype, Cavalier's Charge from Cavalier archetype, and Play to the Crowd from Gladiator. Duelist archetype's challenge feat/ability gives you a circumstance bonus to damage, but not to attack.

The Archer one is the most generally applicable, but not for a frontliner, obviously.


Fortunately, almost nothing ( you might also consider using axes with swipe attack, in order to get the +1 circumstance on both attacks ).

Stacking bonuses in this edition is more complicated, and contributes to prevent characters too "powerful".

For Example, even expending 2 actions to cast heroism during a 4/5 round encounter would mean to renouce to 1/5 of your actions for a mere bonus.
