[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3208801, member: 1656"] I think the point glass is making is that 'Power Attack damage' is not what is 'twiced' when using a one-handed weapon in two hands or a two-handed weapon. Power Attack damage is either a/ equal to the number you subtract from attack rolls, or b/ equal to twice the number you subtract from attack rolls. However it is calculated, the figure "Power Attack damage" has not yet been multiplied by anything; the only thing that has been multiplied at any point is the number subtracted frmo attack rolls. Similarly, if I attack with a two-handed weapon, my Str bonus is multiplied by 1.5 before being added to my damage. My damage dealt at this point has not been multiplied by anything; therefore, when I score a critical and my damage dealt is doubled, the multiplication rule (x2 x2 = x3) does not come into effect, because I am multiplying something which has not yet been multiplied (damage dealt)... even though there was multiplication of another figure involved in calculating that total. -Hyp.
