It is subtracted from all melee attack rolls you make in a round.2. It is applied to all melee damage rolls you make in a round.When you make a CDG in a round in which you are using Power Attack, you subtract your PA number from all melee attack rolls (none, save AoOs), and add it to all melee damage rolls (the CDG damage, multiplied for the automatic crit).In replying to the "You only get to add to damage rolls for which you subtracted from a related attack roll", I've even made the same point he did - this would, surely, mean that you only subtract from attack rolls for which you add to a related damage roll, and thus in the event of an attack roll that misses solely due to the PA subtraction (resulting in no related damage roll), Power Attack cannot apply.Which strikes me as nonsensical, and since the theory of related rolls is not supported by the text of the feat anyway, I'm happy to ignore that particular interpretation.-Hyp.</blockquote>
