Title: Power Attack Description - FIXED
Post by: Nehetsrev on August 17, 2009, 10:22:25 PM
I'm not so sure it's as much a bug as it is something that might need to be clarified for those who aren't too familiar with AD&D rules/feats.  But, I was noticing that Power Attack can't be used with ranged weapons such as bows, yet the description does not clearly state that it only works with melee weapons.  Just thought I'd mention it as something that might be stated more specificly.

From LORE (emphasis added):

Quote
When Power Attack is selected, it grants a +5 bonus to the damage roll
but at the cost of -5 to the attack roll on all melee attacks.


If you have a way to say it that is more clear, I'd be happy to listen, but unless I'm missing something, I think it states the way it works accurately (I'm not sure if you intended to imply this or not, but how you've phrased it is inaccurate, since the feat works with unarmed combat as well as melee weapons).

Edit: Perhaps you were looking at the improved power attack page? It did not state the limitation, and I just changed it.

Ooops!  My mistake, I must've mis-read the entry and completely missed the last two words.
 
 I feel quite silly now.
 
 So sorry...  This thread may be deleted if you like.
