Calculating Rhinohide charging damage...

[Dwarmaj]

I know this has probably been asked many times, but we had a discussion in our session about how damage should be calculated.

Example chararcter:
6th Fighter 18str +1 scythe flaming

Normal hit when charging
(2d4 +6 +1)x2 +1d6 or is it (2d4 +6 +1 +1d6)x2

Critical hit when charging
(2d4 +6 +1)x5 +1d6 or is it ((2d4 +6 +1)x4 +1d6)x2

or is some other method used

Thanks

I bolded the correct ones. Extra die damage like sneak attacks and energy damage (acid, ice, fire, sonic, electricity) are never multiplied.

And a scythe doing x8 damage is just wrong

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the x4 critical damage of the scythe would be increased to x5 or if the total damage would be doubled.

I thought that the spell might make things a little more interesting.
Especially with the Whirlwind attack feat......

""Yes, the spell is as you see it here... unless I'm a little blind today.""

I don't think it changes much of anything. Ki whirlwind or hast allowed basically the same thing before.

Cool spell though.

Bloody hell!

That means you can get that as a 50gp potion!

Ki Whirlwind and Haste didn't give you the Rhino Hide/Shield Charge/Spirited Charge/Lance type effects on multiple attacks, though...

It says you can charge and make a full attack in the same round, not that you can charge and take a full attack as part of that charge.

 

[Hypersmurf]

So in one round, you can move sixty feet, make a single (charge) attack, and make a full attack as well... for a first level spell? Not just once, but for a minute/level?
