Black Karma Curse and Power Attack

[Stalker0]

Black Karma Curse is a curse spell that cause the opponent to deal damage to itself. The text says if the creature has multiple attack forms, it will choose the one that deals the most damage.

If the creature has power attack, does that mean it will power attack itself for full?

Unless there is a reason NoT to power attack, the character will put both hands on the weapon and power attack for full.

Cruel spell . With that wording I would agree with frankthdm. It should use whatever attack-method that does most damage.

Does the spell make the target attack itself immediately (ie outside of its turn) or during its turn?

Immediately. You cast it on the creature on your turn, and if it fails a will save, it takes the damage.

In that case, it can't change its Power Attack value outside of its own turn. It'd be set at whatever PA value (if any) it was already swinging at that round.

Agree. Whew!
