[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 3206053, member: 12332"] Well, with the Weapon Mastery in there he currently hits at: +24/19/14 That would let him move and take a Standard Attack at 19/14 Or take a full attack at 19/19/14/9 ... granted that's a little blah. But this is pre-buff. We're usually quite heavily buffed before combat, to the tune of another +3-4 on attack rolls. So it wouldn't be unusual for him to then have a 22/22/17/12 full attack. On something large with low AC, that would be a pretty good throwdown. Oddly, pre-buff my character hits at 19/14/9 ... Barbarian/Cleric, so my BAB is lower than his, and my base Str. I then buff with Righteous Might and Smite (+4/+14) and then dump bonus into power attack until I'm striking at +20 ... I just like the ease of math, honestly, in adding +20 to the d20 roll, so I just dump bonus into PA until I get there. But it's usually just the one attack ... move then smite ... so I don't notice the poor attack bonus on the back-end. More I was thinking that the Standard Attack would be useful for him. He has Winged Boots and often zooms around with a 60' fly speed in combat. He has a Holy Mage-Bane weapon and an additional +1d6 damage to creatures with Spells or SLAs, so he would get in more physical melee attacks to strap that +5d6 damage in there (at this level it's getting pretty rare to meet something without at least an SLA). If he can move and still get two attacks in, that would be 2d10+24+10d6 potential damage after a move action. Not at all shabby. --fje [/QUOTE]
