Exotic Weapon Master errata?

[Crothian]

so, anyone seen anything in the FAQ, errata, sage advice, or any of the other difficult to locate sources of information? I was unable to find anything on this so far.

 

[Legildur]

Nope. Seen nothing official on the UB ability. But I wish someone would clarify it as it is causing some angst.

Like I said, maybe it is for the best for balance reasons that the ability NOT include the Power Attack advantage. Although it would certainly help even the score for sword and board style.....

Also, there hasn't been any errata to CW yet.

Maybe I'm confused ...

The ability changes your Strength multiplier from 1.5 to 2.0 when the weapon is used in both hands. Additionally, it says you can Power Attack at 2-for-1.

I said the second part - you can Power Attack 2-for-1 - is ignored because you can do that anyway. You can still do it, of course, you just don't need this particular bit of rules to tell you you can.

I was agreeing with what you said. Just saying that what Legildur was saying about what Hypersmurf has been...

Hmm - can we just go back to "I was agreeing with what you said" ?

Sorry for diverging, but there is certain feat in CAd, Leap Attack, that allows you to triple damage from P.A. when wielding a 2-handed weapon and haaving jumped at least 10ft horizontally.
This means that for every -1 to attack you get +3 to damage right!?
I mean, if you read it the other way aroun you get, for every -1 you get +2 damge fom using a 2-handed weapon and then, this +2*3,
i.e.: for each -1, you get +6.

It HAS to be the firs option.

 

[Crothian]

its the first one, the 1 for 3 replaces the 1 for 2 of the power attack

The way I interpret it:

If you wield a one handed weapon two-handed you get to add your strength modifier x2 (instead of x1.5).

If you wield the one handed weapon in one hand and have power attack you add your strength modifier x1.5 (instead of x1).

I think that both sentences under uncanny blow are very confusing when read together. Just read the last sentence as though it was a separate entry and it might make more sense.

 

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

If you wield the one handed weapon in one hand and have power attack you add your strength modifier x1.5 (instead of x1).

That's not really a possible ruling, going off of the rules.

The way I interpret it:

If you wield a one handed weapon two-handed you get to add your strength modifier x2 (instead of x1.5).

Yep.

If you wield the one handed weapon in one hand and have power attack you add your strength modifier x1.5 (instead of x1).

The problem with that is that, at no point, does the description of the ability mention "one-handed." I believe that the most likely explanation is that it's an oversight; the Power Attack feat description specifically mentions that a one-handed weapon wielded two-handed gives you the same 2-for-1 damage bonus as using a two-handed weapon. Probably, the person who wrote that forgot that.
