Ok, I created a first level fighter. I gave him the feats Power Attack , Furious Focus, and Weapon Focus. He has a STR of 18 and is Human. He is using the Greatsword.

When I look at the in play tab it shows the greatsword at a 2d6+6 Damage without the Power Attack clicked and a 2d6+9 with it clicked.

Shouldn't the power attack only add a +2?

What am I missing? Yes I am assuming I am missing something here.

Also shouldn't the To Hit number be a +6 for the first hit or do I have to add the 1 back in manualy?

Power Attack bonus damage increases by 50% when using a two handed weapon, such as the greatsword. This gives you a +3 damage bonus in this case. Two handed weapons makes Power Attack a great deal!

Also, with Furious Focus, you ignore the Power Attack penalty for the first attack. So in your case, it is correct at +6 for the first attack.

But the program shows a +5. So I figure I will have to remember to add it back in on the first attack.

Thank You both for your replies.

Bonus damage (from STR and Power Attack) gets +50% for 2H weapons.

Thank You, I did understand this from Amalasan's answer. But it still does not show the first attack as a +6 but rather just the +5, so I will have to track the Furious Focus benifit by hand myself.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect based on other applications that this is deliberate on LoneWolf's part.

Since Furious Focus applies only to the first attack each round, and you may have other attacks in the round due to Attacks of Opportunity, Haste spells, other feats, Speed weapons, etc. that they consider it a conditional bonus. They typically do not include conditional modifiers in the "permanent" list, since they may or may not apply to any given attack.
