Power Attack/Leap Attack Question with two hands

[olejars]

Correct me if I'm wrong but they way I'm reading it. First you double the damage with a two handed weapon, then triple it with leap attack.

So with a BAB of 12 with a full power attack and leap, I'm looking at 72 extra damage, not including strength and enhancement scores and extra dice?

It's subject to wacky D&D multiplying rules. *2 + *2 = *3 (not *4). There was also an errata, where it was changed +100% the normal bonus damage from your use of the Power Attack feat. So:

Power Attack with 1 handed weapon: +1 damage per BAB
Power Attack with 2 handed weapon: +2 damage per BAB
Leap Attack with 1 handed weapon: +2 damage per BAB
Leap Attack with a 2 handed weapon: +4 damage per BAB

Using my example of BAB 12, it would be +48 damage, plus strength, enhancement, and extra dice?

Also, a reference page for the multiplying and/or link for the errata would be awesome.

Edit: Are you referring to the multiplying damage rule on page 134 of the PHB? Then in that case I would do (12*2)+(12*3)= +60 damage... unless thats what the errata changed.

I think you misunderstand that blurb.

D&D multiplication only cares about the multipliers' respective increases from the base value.

So:
Base*Multiplier1*Multiplier2 = B+(M1*B-B)+(M2*B-B)

Or, in your example, 12*2*3 = 12+(12*2-12)+(12*3-12) = 48

It actually only changed it to +100% for one-handed weapons. The immediate next line that deals specifically with two-handed Leap Attack still says 3:1.
