Power Attack and BAB

[Victim]

Just a note, enemies with class levels usually have far better ACs than almost any monster.

Also, you're wrong about Brilliant Energy weapons. They only negate armor bonuses. Most monsters use natural armor, so Brilliant energy isn't going to help there either.

umm, I was not wrong, natural armor was not included was all...

Someone in full plate and shield had 10 armor and +5 ea is 20 AC that would be lost to this kind of weapon...

Right. And a wizard or cleric of equivalent level can gate in celestial great wyrms or solars, use time stop and set up 2-5 deadly combat spells, inflict 24d6 damage to others at 1200' range, or just teleport away from any hazardous situation.

20th-level characters are SUPPOSED to be that mighty; how else could you rate ancient dragons at CR 20 and expect anything to survive an encounter with them?

Dude, this is a post about power attack, not 9th level spell BEAT-DOWNS.

If I had wanted to talk about spells I would have make the topic.

What do you think is the best 9th level spell BEAT-DOWN?

By the way, when you GATE in creature there is no guarantee that they are going to do anything for you.

You have to negotiate with them just like in Planar Ally.

Only Summon Monster can MAKE them do anything.

Back to the topic.
