Hi all,
My player is concerned with the new Power attack revision, and he's concerned that he's going to do *too* much damage.
Here's the situation. He has a half-orc Ftr3/Bbn6 with a Str of 20. He also has a Belt of Giant Strength to bring his Str up to 24. He wields a +2 Keen Two-Handed Sword. Nothing too unreasonable for his level, right?
So when he does a run of the mill strike, he hits on +18/+13 (BAB +9, Str +7, Sword +2) and does 2d6+12 damage. Pretty reasonable.
Now, when he rages and power attacks, things get ugly. Say he takes a -5 to hit from his BAB, he now hits at +15/+10, and does 2d6+30 damage. Gah! So on average, he's going 70hp a round in damage. Does this strike you as right?
He's currently overshadowing all the other characters in hand-to-hand. Have any of you run across this problem?
Thanks!
