what gets doubled on a charge?

First Post
My centaur has a huge lance and some other goodies.
right now I am only doubling the damage that the lance deals from its base weapon dmg. I am not doubling the magic damage from the lance of devastating charge or the feat powerful charge for that matter.

Like all multiplication in the game you double the total damage, not the dice alone.
The only thing that you don't multiply in 3.5 is the additional damage like sneak attack, energy damage for magical weapon and so on.
 

okay a quick list looks something like this.

rhino hide armor adds +2d6 dmg. Is that doubled?
Power attack?
devastating charge lance (+2d6) Is that doubled?
powerful charge feat. Is that doubledI am obviously doubling the damage done from his strength bonus.

I am obviously doubling the damage done from his strength bonus.: and you're right to do so.

Basicly you double damage mods, but not extra damage dice.
 

rhino hide armor adds +2d6 dmg. Not Doubled.

Power attack? Is Doubled, Unfortunatly. :\

devastating charge lance (+2d6) Not Doubled

powerful charge feat. Not Doubled

Roll the Weapon's damage dice twice, double all point based damage bonuses [Str, Enhancements, Weapon specialization, favorered enemy bonus, Power attack], then roll extra damage dice once.
 



I just read up on skirmisher boots. Now those things allow you to make an additional attack at your highest base attack bonus twice per day, but only if you move more then 10 ft. Obviously that means my centaur is charging.
Is that second attack doubled as well?
Also belt of one mighty blow specifically states that once per day your weapon deals another d6,2d6 or 3d6 depending on the size.
Because your weapon deals the damage is that then doubled as well? It makes it clear that this is weapon damage and not damage from the belt of one mighty blow.

I'd say yes, but I haven't read the actual item description.

No. Extra dice are not doubled.
