[QUOTE="Greybar, post: 467304, member: 4938"] Heck, I think *I've* fought this way in "the Realms" (a local light-weapons combat-heavy LARP) Seriously, the PowerAttack/Expertise describes one of the better fighters in that group. He's all about diving attacks that can land good blows and move him past defenses... I'd say let them do it all out: a 5 BAB, with +5 damage, +5 AC, and -10 to hit. I recommend that if they end up with a less than zero result, you should take it as an opportunity for some really good combat-description. "You dive quickly into the opening left by the minotaur's great-axe, throwing all of your weight into a great thrust into his chest. He recoils quickly though, and without the impact of your blade to help you keep your balance, you fall face down in front of him. His initiative is up next, and he raises his greataxe high as he prepared to bring it down hard on your prone body. Yep, he'll be using his Power Attack. Let's see if you can roll out of the way of the plummeting blade... [rolls the dice]" John [/QUOTE]
