Hi all
I'm having trouble figuring out how to calculate the damage bonus on a Rake attack?
I've taken a Fleshrender dinosaur as my animal companion and his BAB and strength have both gone up.
My confusion stems from the entry in the MM3 where it states that his rake attack (for an unmodified FR dinosaur) is +2 and dam 1d6+2
But his BAB is +3 and his strength is 17, so another +3, which should be +6?
On the damage, with a str bonus of +3, I would have thought it would be 1d6 +3, but even if you half the str bonus it should round down for a 1, not a 2? :smallconfused:
Furthermore, the entry for Rake in the glossary states Rake ignores the -4 penalty for attacking while grappled...?
I've checked the errata for MM3 but there is nothing for Fleshrender.
Please help!
