    Hey all,
    We've just started using d20pro with the pathfinder rules and, while we're overall very impressed with the software, we do have one significant issue that we could use some help with. One of our characters is using a greatsword two handed with power attack. At 3rd level, taking a -1 penalty to hit, he should have a +3 bonus to damage from power attack. However, d20pro is only adding +2 to his damage which, IIRC, was the rule from 3.5. The GM has, twice now, downloaded and applied the Pathfinder .jar file, to no avail. Has anyone here seen something similar or know of areas we could look at inside d20pro to adjust this behavior?

    Thanks in advance for all replies

    We ran across the very same issue in our game Saturday night. Any help would be appreciated.

    The quick power attack is for 3.5 rules.

    To do the Pathfinder version just modify your to hit and damage rolls, -1 to hit and +3 to damage.

    Hail and well met firebringer, Daeruin,

    Please use the manual workaround advised by ogexam for now. Improving Pathfinder support is high on our list, not only to hook you guys up but also because many of the d20Pro Team play Pathfinder ourselves. :D

    P.S. I will be at PaizoCon next month so anyone who reads these forums who will be in Seattle as well look me up!

    I'm sure you have this all sorted, but here's a graphical representation of what I do for my group.

    Edit Character - Attack - Add "(Power Attack)", adjust appropriately
    In this case it's a -2 Attack and a +4 Damage OR +6 Damage 2-Handed (Since BAB = 5)

    When selecting an attack:

    Pathfinder Rules for Power Attack:
    BAB = +1 to +3 = -1 Attack and +2 Damage (+3 Damage if 2-handed)
    BAB = +4 to +7 = -2 Attack and +4 Damage (+6 Damage if 2-handed)
    BAB = +8 to +11 = -3 Attack and +6 Damage (+9 Damage if 2-handed)
    BAB = +12 to +15 = -4 Attack and +8 Damage (+12 Damage if 2-handed)
    BAB = +16 to +19 = -5 Attack and +10 Damage (+15 Damage if 2-handed)
    BAB = +20 to +23 = -6 Attack and +12 Damage (+18 Damage if 2-handed)
    etc.
