Power Attack + Critical Hit

[Caliban]

Really?

Really.

It's not your next attack, it's your next attack roll.

A confirmation roll is an attack roll, but it is not your next one. It is the one after that.

Try quoting all the relevent text.

Try quoting all the relevent text.

Try quoting a counter rule instead of merely pretending to know the answers without backing them up.

I'm not pretending.

HeapThaumaturgist made the reference for me, why be redundant?

 

[LordBOB]

there is no such thing as TRY...you either do or you dont!!!!

EDIT: Your own quote doth you wrong, KD, since you forgot to bold the pesky "with all the same modifiers" part in there.

So it does!

 

[Caliban]

So it does!

See?

(Although to be fair, I should have said "bolding" the relevent text instead of "quoting", which probably made it sound more confrontational than I had intended. My apologies.)

You should see it when it is combined with rage.

 

[KarinsDad]

See?

Actually, I suspect that the intent is that it applies.

However, we do have two conflicting rules.

One that says to apply all of the same modifiers and one that says to apply it to only a single attack roll. A given DM seeing this could still interpret the True Strike rule to trump the normal critical rule, but I wouldn't because True Strike does not do this explicitly (i.e. by calling out an exception to the normal critical rules), it does it implicitly (i.e. by indicating how many attack rolls).

Time for my Eldritch Knight to take a level in barbarian darnit! LOL

Turn 1: Draw +2 Keen Greatsword
Turn 2: True Strike, Rage
Turn 3: Charge, and Power Attack for 5
Turn 4: Pick up my opponent's severed head from the ground and spit in its eye

lol

Turn 1: Draw +2 Keen Falchion, True Strike, Rage
Turn 2: Charge, Power Attack for #
Turn 3: Pick up... etc

Falchion is the Munchkin-powerattackers weapon of choice!
