Unless there are any specific requests for spells, Toben will cast Haste on the party as soon as combat starts.

I'll caveat all this with "Eru will need verify everything I am saying is correct", but here is how I understand damage is calculated.

There are a couple rules that could throw a curve ball into the formula, but...
Melee damage should be: weapon damage + STR bonus + misc. modifiers (stuff like feats, spell effects, etc)

Two-handed weapons give a modest boost to damage for both strength bonus and power attack.

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#powerAttack

If using a 1-handed weapon w/power attack:

• weapon damage + STR bonus + power attack bonus

If using a 2-handed weapon w/power attack:

• weapon damage + (STR bonus *1.5) + (power attack bonus *2)

So, if we were to pretend you were a troll with a 30 STR, attacking with a 2-handed weapon, using power attack 10, then it ought to look something like this:

• weapon damage + 15 (10 * 1.5) + 20 (10 * 2) = weapon damage + 35

Depending on how much STR you ended up with after Nestaels blessing, you might be doing some pretty super human damage!

Toben is correct.  To get the maximum effect of your blessings, Klale, you should take the Enlarge.

Klale has a shield, so he's striking one-handed. When I read the Enlarge description, I got that STR increases by 2 but DEX goes down by 2. I figured the defense is more important than the one extra point of damage.

Ultimately your call.  Happy to watch you smash em up either way. :D

Oh yeah, the shield might make a bit of a difference.

Using the formula for 1-handed damage with power attack is still going to yield quite a bit of damage with your level of strength.

Ok that is a lot of goblins.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Klale suggested wounding/killing it through its eyes.

If Klale wakes up the Vastidon by checking around its backside, I'm going to die of laughter.

Would not be the first time one of my campaigns included anal adventures.  Remind me to tell you about the goblin torches one player invented one time.

I forget didn't someone already stab a hydra in the ass?

Something like that, and I believe it was Klale. :)

Now that Toben is back in the saddle, who do yall think will be best suited for the enhancement?

In game terms, Toben doesn't really know that Ano's attacks are considered magical yet... I dont think he overheard Saris mention that.

I think Klale for sure, but I really don't know between Phin and Ourn.

I'm ok with enchanting the ammo. I have a total of around 15 14 bolts left if I remember correctly. I'll have to go back and review my posts real quick.

Will you be hitting us with haste again? I dunno about Phineas, but if I remain stationary I can crank out 2 shots per turn until I reload.

With the amount of rest Toben got, he was able to reclaim several spell slots. It'll take a couple rounds, but he was planning on casting haste again, as well as slow on the monster.

I also agree about using the last casting of Greater Magic Weapon on the bolts, but it was worth mentioning the other option in case someone has a weapon that can out damage the bolts.

I only have an ordinary long sword outside of having the heavy repeater

As near as I can figure, Klale will have two attacks per round and should hit every time. His damage will be 1d10+1 + 10 for strength, +2 for greater weapon, +10 for power attack. Thant makes each attack 23 + 1d8 done twice.

Come to think of it, it's more important to whack the weak part of one leg. The hind end should be relatively easy to hit.

Whats the attack and damage bonus for your greater magic weapon? I believe t's supposed to be based on caster level (according to a 3.5 wiki)

+2 attack and damage at Toben's current level.

Wow. With haste, being stationary, and making full attacks, my rolls might actually not be crippled for once:D

That's the goal :)

Also, for Phineas, that crossbow is actually a masterwork light crossbow. You won't get the benefit of the +1 to hit for it being masterwork since the enhancement bonus of the ammo will override it.

Your to hit should be: base attack bonus + dex bonus + 2 enhancement bonus
Your damage should be: 1d8 + 2 enhancement bonus

The reload of a light crossbow is a move equivalent action (unless you have the Rapid Reload feat), but since we're hasted, you might be able to get 2 shots off a round. Eru, please confirm this info :)

The masterwork clause goes for me as well then

2 shots/round confirmed if you aren't moving.  3 shots/round for automatic xbow.
