Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elder-Basilisk" data-source="post: 2734496" data-attributes="member: 3146">The spell says "a normal melee attack, just as if you attacked with the weapon in melee, against each foe in the weapon's path...the weapon deals damage just as if you had swung it in melee, including any bonuses you might have from ability scores or feats."As I read it, that means that Power Attack damage applies (it's bonus damage from a feat) as well as Arcane Strike (again, it's bonus damage from a feat). Similarly, I see no reason that you couldn't attack two-handed with a one-handed weapon--provided that you had the free hand to begin with. I'm not certain about special attacks like Trip and Disarm except that I am certain you wouldn't get the follow up attacks from Improved Trip. Even making the trips/disarms seems somewhat inappropriate for the spell which is described as hurling your weapon--at least if you trip/disarm some but not all of your targets. (And, if you apply the rules strictly, a failed trip or disarm attempt would let the enemy trip or disarm you since the spell doesn't say that it voids that rule. It's plainly ridiculous, however, since you are not holding the weapon. In order to make that work, you'd have to say that a successful counter trip/disarm by the enemy stops the blade where it is--and it you're making up house rules to deal with the situation anyway, you might as well make a house rule that preserves the flavor of the spell and say "no trips/disarms...." And while you're at it, no sculpting the spell either. Four ten foot cubes would just be silly.)</blockquote>
