Noob Question - Power Attack?

[Terenn]

What is the best way to apply the Power Attack feat to your attack? Is this a manual process or can you set it up to apply the bonuses and minuses for the round?

Thanks

you can set it up as an action you can click for the round. setup a spell class on the action tab by pressing edit list in bottom right corner. then add spell class. rename the spell class to whatever you want. melee abilities, for instance. add at least a 1 to the level 0. should create a level 0 section underneath that box. right click the level 0 line. select add spell. name the spell power attack. right click the name power attack and select add spell action then select add effect. click on where it says target and toggle it to self. Copy this line and paste it in the effect line

Power Attack (Level 1); ATK: -1; DMG: 2, melee

OR

Power Attack Two Handed (Level 1); ATK: -1; DMG: 3, melee

click on the expand button (magnifying glass) and add a 1 to fixed under the duration section. now whenever you need power attack, you just click the little person button and it will apply power attack across all your attacks. you can add more lines under that spell and continue to add effects to setup more levels.

Power Attack (Level 4); ATK: -2; DMG: 4, melee
Power Attack (Level 8); ATK: -3; DMG: 6, melee
Power Attack (Level 12); ATK: -4; DMG: 8, melee
Power Attack (Level 16); ATK: -5; DMG: 10, melee
Power Attack (Level 20); ATK: -6; DMG: 12, melee
Power Attack Two Handed (Level 4); ATK: -2; DMG: 6, melee
Power Attack Two Handed (Level 8); ATK: -3; DMG: 9, melee
Power Attack Two Handed (Level 12); ATK: -4; DMG: 12, melee
Power Attack Two Handed (Level 16); ATK: -5; DMG: 15, melee
Power Attack Two Handed (Level 20); ATK: -6; DMG: 18, melee

Follow up question: Would there be any way to have this interact with the feat "Furious Focus" or would it have to always be manually done?

"Furious Focus: Prerequisites: Str 13, Power Attack, base attack bonus +1;

When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands, and using the Power Attack feat, you do not suffer Power Attack’s penalty on melee attack rolls on the first attack you make each turn. You still suffer the penalty on any additional attacks, including attacks of opportunity."

Hm, You could additionally add an effect ATK: +X which expires on the next roll (not on the next action, to avoid that this effect applies to all attacks in a full attack) in order to neglect the penalty of the power attack effect for the first roll :) but you'd need to add that effect each turn again :)

[Phixation]

that's exactly how i would do it.

Furious Focus; ATK: +X

where x is the power attack negative.
