there is a feat you can take next level to Vital Strike cleave
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:53 AM -
VintagePC:
though I still can't seem to get char sheet variables into my macros
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:53 AM -
VintagePC:
I get errors whenever I try something like [[@{crit-target}]]
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:54 AM -
VintagePC:
same with [[%{selected|crit-target}]] which works fine for saves
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:54 AM -
Statboy:
if everything is in your character sheet in roll 20, you can pop out your character sheet, move it to a second screen and just press the buttons from the sheet instead of macro's
Apr 24, 2016 at 10:59 AM -
Statboy:
also if you power attack with 1 attack, you have to power attack with all attacks you take that rnd. Its an all or nothing kinda thing apparently
Apr 24, 2016 at 11:05 AM -
VintagePC:
yeah... I hate having a window open just for that
Apr 24, 2016 at 11:13 AM -
Cheese4Everyone:
Bleh my pc case is making this stupid rattling sound. I think the panel is warped or something because when I shift is just a bit it goes away. Bleh

Doesn't seem to be any of the fans or anything thank god.

VintagePC:
yay resonance
Apr 24, 2016 at 11:58 AM -
VintagePC:
mine does that too sometimes when the fans hit a certain speed.
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:00 PM -
theLumberJack:
the power attack carries over to aoo aswell i believe
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:21 PM -
English:
Vintage -- Look at taking Furious Focus then
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:21 PM -
English:
Your first power attack in a round you do not take the penalty to hit
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:28 PM -
VintagePC:
so many options
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:29 PM -
VintagePC:
If I do full-round attack, do I understand correctly that vital strike can apply to the first attack of the two?
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:34 PM -
English:
you cannot take multiple attacks with vital strike
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
VaultBot: or maybe use it as a child protective agent: i want to be a troll.
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -

derp... says so in the italics
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
English:
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
VaultBot: it really gives you a simulation
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
VintagePC:
"You make a single attack that deals significantly more damage than normal."
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
VaultBot: but yeah i read through a ton of db queries
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
English:
hence why I dont really like it for characters that stand in the fray and bash people to death
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:36 PM -
VintagePC:
I was just reading the text itself "When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage"
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:38 PM -
English:
well even that says that you can only take one attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:39 PM -
English:
taking the attack action is a standard action which means then you have no more actions that can be used to make an attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:39 PM -
VintagePC:
yeah... I was reading that as in "one attack" out of two
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:40 PM -
VintagePC:
but nvm
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:41 PM -
English:
yeah I like VS for characters with 3/4 BAB because by the time you get multiple attacks your +hit is generally a lot less and it makes sense to take vital strike and give up the extra str dmg from a second attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:41 PM -
VintagePC:
really the only upside of VS is indeed if you've only got a std attack and want tons of damage
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:42 PM -
VintagePC:
PA already does a decent job of that and on average the +6 will do more damage than an extra 1d10
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:42 PM -
English:
if your char is a barbarian that smashes a lot of things then look into the cleave
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:42 PM -
English:
and the cleave feat line
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:43 PM -
VaultBot: my doc was about to reattach the finger of a few things. should be at 53 and have one more skill point this level
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:43 PM -
English:
or something like sunder or trip and extra AoOs
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:43 PM -
English:
if you get the greater improved trip, you cause them to provoke AoO when they get tripped
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:43 PM -
English:
BAM hit em
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:43 PM -
English:
when they get up?
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:43 PM -
English:
BAM HIT EM AGAIN
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:44 PM -
English:
then they only get to take 1 attack per round
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:44 PM -
English:
then next round
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:44 PM -
English:
TRIP THE FUCKER AGAIN!
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:44 PM -
English:
MORE ATTACKS OF OPPORTUNITY!
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:48 PM -
VintagePC:
my int is too low
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:50 PM -
VintagePC:
but furious focus + power attack + full round attack... that is some serious AC and damage
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:51 PM -
VintagePC:
with two chances at crits
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:53 PM -
VintagePC:
only time that sucks is against a foe you need to move away/to during attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 12:53 PM -
VintagePC:
we've had some of those where you do NOT want to be there for a full round attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:01 PM -
English:
5ft steps are your friend
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:02 PM -
English:
i like doing 1st attack is a normal attack. 2nd attack power attack with furious focus
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:02 PM -
English:
2nd attack becomes way more likely to hit and apply extra damage
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:17 PM -
VintagePC:
technically you can't do that
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:18 PM -
VintagePC:
FF can only be applied to first attack in your turn
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:18 PM -
English:
no it only applies on your first power attack in a round
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:18 PM -
English:
you can choose whether or not you want to power attack on each hit
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:19 PM -
English:
you just have to do it BEFORE the attack roll
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:19 PM -
English:
so you make your first attack roll and damage
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:19 PM -
English:
then you decide to power attack for the second roll
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:20 PM -
English:
but once you decide to power attack it lasts until the start of your next round
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:20 PM -
English:
so all subsequent attacks are power attacks
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:32 PM -
VintagePC:
"you do not suffer Power Attack’s penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn"
Apr 24, 2016 at 1:33 PM -
VintagePC:
first attack, not first power attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 2:29 PM -
Statboy:
power attack specifically says "You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls."
Apr 24, 2016 at 2:29 PM -
Statboy:
Which I read as you power attack all of your hits or none of them
Apr 24, 2016 at 2:31 PM -
Statboy:
Also, English, Vital Strike is good for increasing mobility in fighters so that a stay and bash fighter can put out better dmg even when they can't stand in one place and bash
Apr 24, 2016 at 2:41 PM -

i can't find my dogs nailclippers
Apr 24, 2016 at 2:53 PM -
VintagePC:
how does full round attack stack with cleave? I think it still only grants a single additional attack against an adjacent foe
Apr 24, 2016 at 3:01 PM -
Statboy:
cleave is a standard action on its own, and can't be added with additional attacks
Apr 24, 2016 at 3:02 PM -
Statboy:
cleave is gonna be good if you have 2 enemies in front you, cause both attacks at your full attack rating
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:56 PM -
English:
I read it as the triggering attack and all subsequent attacks and there is no stipulation as to when you decide to start power attacking
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:56 PM -
English:
as long as it is before the attack roll
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:56 PM -
English:
but PFSRD is having some issues right now
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:59 PM -
English:
"You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls."
Apr 24, 2016 at 6:59 PM -
English:
"You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage."
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM -
English:
IMO you could rule either way. I make the argument that you are allowed to START power attacking at any point just as long as it is before an attack roll
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM -
English:
so you could start on your 1st attack or you could start on your 3rd attack
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:01 PM -
English:
but from that point on all your attacks are power attacks
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:03 PM -
English:
and i see no reason to force a player to either power attack from their first attack or not at all
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:04 PM -
English:
And as for the Cleave feat line it is all about the later feats. Greater Cleave and Cleaving Finish
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:04 PM -
English:
You could end up with 8 attacks in one round if you were completely surrounded
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:05 PM -
English:
And if you have a reach weapon you could double it to 16 attacks
Apr 24, 2016 at 7:05 PM -
English:
which is great if your party is constantly fighting small stuff that tries to overwhelm you
