Power Lunge feat with 2-handed weapon

[Saladrex]

Hello,

How would Power Lunge feat behave when you use a 2-handed melee weapon?
A 2-Handed greatsword for example uses 1.5x(str bonus) and Power lunge says that your str bonus is doubled on the attack.
So what will be your str multiplier on this case? (2xstr bonus) or [(1.5)x2]xstr bonus ? (=3xstr bonus)?

Thanks all

The bonus from Power Lunge replaces the normal modifier.

By the way, that makes Power Lunge a strange exception to the usual multiplication rule for D&D, which is kind of unfortunate in my opinion. I'm not fond of strange exceptions that are not spelled out clearly.

Nevertheless, it is true (based, as I recall, on the Sword and Fist errata).

Benefit: A successful attack roll during a charge allows you to inflict double your normal STR modifier in addition to the attacks damage.

The S&F errata adds: "regardless of whether you're using one- or two-handed weapons." to the end of that line.


So... power lunge (x2 STR damage) superceeds the two-handed (x1.5 STR damage) fighting bonus for charging.
