Feat damage stacking Q

[Callowbran]

Forgive me if this is handled in other threads but...

If my maul-wielding dwarven barbarian has

Dwarven Weapon Training (+2 hammer damage)
Powerful Charge (+2 charge damage)
Weapon Focus, Hammer (+1 hammer damage)

Does the damage from each stack, or does he just get +2 to damage overall? The reason I ask is because "Feat" is a damage type (p.275 phb).

Question 2 (bonus question):

In our game last weekend our Warlock got an Eldritch blast (1d10) critical hit on a target that he had cursed (+1d6) and put a "hunters quarry" on (+1d6 per his dilletante power). Is his max damage 10+6+6=24 or is it 10+d6+d6? The phb pp. 278 seemed ambiguous to us about whether powers like curses and hunter's quarry are "extra damage" or considered part of the normal damage.


Thanks in advance for responses.

Named bonuses never stack with other bonuses of the same name. Unnamed bonuses stack with everything but themselves. If those are all feat bonuses, you'll get the highest of the three. If they don't say "+x Feat bonus to damage" they'll stack. Sorry I can't give a specific answer, but I don't have a book handy to know what types those bonuses are.

Per the FAQ, the warlock does 24 damage. Theonly damage that isn't maximized is damage that specifically occurs as a result of the attack being a critical hit.

Bonuses of the same type (ex. a feat bonus) don't stack, but untyped bonuses stack with anything.

Dwarven Weapon Training and Weapon Focus are both feat bonuses, so they won't stack with each other. However, Powerful Charge is an untyped bonus, so it will stack with either of the other feats. There's a good summary on page 275 of the Player's Handbook.

Short answer: You'll be doing +2 damage, +4 if you're charging.

Thanks in advance for responses.

Dilettante (half-elf racial ability) doesn't allow you to choose a class feature like Hunter's Quarry. Are you talking about the ranger multiclass feat?

Ah yes: that must be what he used.

Thanks for the responses.
