The ones after the slashes are your iterative attacks, equal to your BAB - 5 per "generation" of attacks. Power Attack, and anything else that works on BAB, uses that highest number. Once you choose to Power Attack, you suffer the attack penalty to all attacks that round, and gain the damage bonus to all successful attacks that round. Note that "that round" means until your next turn; so any Attacks of Opportunity you make until your next turn are also affected.  Using a one-handed weapon in your off-hand allows only 1/2 Strength bonus to damage. Haste lasts 1 round per level. If she's casting it before combat, it is not long before. Most likely, she might cast it if she has a surprise round, then. A +2 weapon and some kind of +2 protective gear are probably reasonable. One problem with characters built at Nth level is that they tend to have better gear than they should, because the player is not "stuck with" things that survived from lower levels. Generally, when I DM such, I impose a "no one item worth more than 25% of your wealth" rule. Then it would say "with each weapon" as opposed to "with any weapon". Any is singular. Of course, I *may* be giving the authors too much credit for a subtlety of the language. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />That would be an impressive amount of damage, IF they all hit. It is quite likely that one of them will miss. Also, a smart opponent who does more damage per hit might stay out of reach, making you continue to close, so that you would only get 1 regular attack + 1 for haste. Also, while no magic items are involved, THREE spells ARE. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
