power attack question

[calebw]

i am playing a dual-wielding dwarf. he has TWF and improved TWF. he also has oversized TWF. 2 mauls (CW). my question, if i have power attack, can i use power attack normally with my off hand because it is a one-handed weapon and not a light weapon?
and another question, since i have 2 weapons, can i do different power attack penalties for each weapon?

Yes.

No. Your Power Attack figure applies to every melee attack roll and every melee damage roll you make in that round, regardless of which weapon you use. (With the normal light weapon caveat, and potential for 2-for-1, etc.)

Yes. You will take the extra -2 attack penalty for the off-hand not being light, though.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, since Power Attack affects all attacks you make in a round.

Bonus Cheesy building advice: With a mix of Tempest (CV), Hammer of Moradin (PGtF), and Dwarven Thane (Dragon WC3 article, forget issue #) levels, you can get 1.5x Str bonus on your main and offhand hammers, and if you add in some Battlesmith levels, you get to add Wis, too. OTOH, the build's a pain to level through.

No, he won't - he has the Oversized TWF feat.

Duh, reading comprehension FTW.

You will still suffer ½ strength to the off-hand damage...not too shabby.
