Hey guys, quick rules question here.

Let's say I have two attacks in a round. Maybe I'm a Level 6 Fighter with a BAB or +6, or if I'm a Ranger with Rapid Shot.

If I use, say, Combat Expertise and raise my AC by 4. Would I have to take a -2 of both my attack rolls (for a total of -4), or would I have to take a -4 on each attack?

If I use Power Attack and take a -2 on each attack, do I add +2 to each damage roll or +4?

Thanks guys! And just FYI, I'm playing with all Core 3.5 rules.

Wielding a weapon in one hand, +2.
Wielding a weapon in 2 hands, +4.

This. Unless you're wielding a two-handed weapon, then Power Attack would give +4.
