Quick Maneuver Question

[Etrivar]

Can you use things like power attack in conjunction with maneuvers?

This question is born out of the desire to do a full-power-leap-attack-strike-of-perfect-clarity.

Yes; everyone loves a deliciously highly Power Attack'd Emerald Razor. :smallsmile:

[Boci]

You can power attack but you cannot leap attack, unless the maneuvres specifies it is a charge, which SoPC does not.

[Lateral]

To put what Boci said more simply: You cannot charge with a maneuver unless the maneuver specifies that it is a charge. Leap Attack is a charge, therefore you can't use Leap Attack with your standard maneuvers.

OOOOooooK, kewl, thanks guys!

Combat maneuvers can't generally be used with Maneuvers; that is, you cannot replace the attack with Trip/Bull Rush/Sunder/Disarm/etc. unless the maneuver tells you to perform a given check. However, things that are done before or after attacks (Combat Expertise, Stone Power and Power Attack, for example, require you to specify the number before making an attack roll) or trigger off attacks work (so while you can't Trip as such, you can trigger Knock-Down off the hits). Easiest rule is probably "Everything but attack replacements are fair game."
