[Full - Waiting for complete characters] Loex’edar: The Dragon War

[scout989]

Goddess FallenAngel, I went ahead and just put Luminous down as having gone- well, where she is on the map. I just wanted to get that post taken care of. If there is something else that you'd rather her to have done, I can easily change it- just let me know.

For a dragon using power attack, do you add the full amount to all attacks or full amount to primary and half to secondary attacks?

Example:

Power attack: +10

Of course it is -10 to hit, but then:

Is it +10 to all attacks?

or

Is it +10 to bite and +5 to claws, wings, etc.?

The way I read it, you get the full amount to all attacks.

Jdvn1- Since you have poor maneuverability and do not have the Hover or Flyby Attack feats, and since none of the creatures are close enough for you to attack right now, you're pretty much going to have to circle around and come back in for another attack (if you wish to stay aloft). Although I haven't said exactly how high you all are, I'll tell you now that you're only about 700 feet from the ground. So Drumaxius is probably smart enough to realize that there really isn't enough room to grapple anyone (because I haven't found any rules about this, I'm going to say that grappling in midair causes both parties to fall [if they're relying on natural flight, as opposed to the spell] unless the winner of the grapple is at least two size categories larger than its opponent). Does this sound like a reasonable house rule to all (or does anyone know of rules for this that I missed)?

Tailspinner- you'll have to wait one more round for that full attack, as it's a move action to begin hovering. Is that what you want to do?

Nonlethal Force- CArc is the only one of the set I don't own, naturally So I don't know the spell you used, I'll just take your word for how it works. My question is- how much damage am I rolling? Your sblock was exceptionally informative (thank you), but I wanted to make sure- it's only 2d6 as far as damage goes, right?

Actually my character would have moved and hovered last round so he could full attack this round and not attacked. Seeing as he is the dragon and should know what to do. But whatever works. Perhaps it is his own inexperience that caused the error. Let me know and I'll change my post accordingly.

Yeah, I'm gonna just chalk this one up to inexperience- after all, the whole point of this entire first combat was solely so that everyone could get the hang of aerial fighting and how their characters work in that situation. As such, I'd say that Zathros may have been a little too eager to land that first blow on the enemy, and forgot to situate himself for what comes next- and next time around, he'll probably remember it, I'd guess.
Normally I might be more inclined to let you change something from the recent past, but that's something that I only do when there's very good reason.

Is there a way for me to get a full attack in midair? I'm fine with grappling in midair and falling, though.

Not that I want to agrue with the GM, Zathros has Good manueverability, he has no minimum move distance forward and can hover without the feat.
