[QUOTE="BASHMAN, post: 3200788, member: 8277"] Actually, Doubled Doubling Becomes tripling. That rule has been around forever, and hasn't gone anywhere. So if you Leap Attack with a 2H weapon power attacking for 2, you would do 6 extra damage. Still a worthwhile feat, just not super awesome. The problem is that now you have closed, you cannot use it, unless you plan to risk a bunch of AOOs and "bounce" around the battlefield between opponents. This feat is near and dear, do my heart however. I once played in 2nd ed D&D with a Bullywug Cavalier (he was a frog-prince, get it). One of their abilities was Leap Attack, which let them do double damage with a piercing weapon. I remember the very first time using this character I was level 1, the party was level 10 (my DM was old-school like that) and I was surrounded by 3 of them who wanted to kill me because I was a bullywug, and therefore evil (by their logic). At that moment, a Basilisk jumped out between us and stoned them! I Leap Attacked it, and rolled a natural 20, with a Longspear, which does 3d6 dmg to large creatures. I also had a large STR bonus because I had 18/77 STR and pumped up my Muscle Sub-stat by 2 levels. In those days, doubled doubles did not triple, but was quadruple! So 4x(3d6+5) dmg ended up being enough to kill the thing in one hit! Not bad for a 1st level character's first impression in a group of 10th! [/QUOTE]
