Power attack wrong?

Hi,
I believe that when you use a two handed weapon or a one handed weapon two handed you gain 50% extra damage, so it would be +3 at levels 1-3 and +6 at 4-6 and so on. On my character in hero lab this is not showing this? Am I wrong or is it a mistake?
Thanks
 
Yes, that's correct. It's working as expected for me so I'm not sure why it isn't working as expected for you. Without more details about your character and what Hero Lab shows, it's hard to guess what may be wrong but there are a couple of things that it's worth checking:

1: Make sure you've equipped the weapon in both hands (check both the tickboxes next to the weapon on the Weapons tab - unless you do this then Hero Lab will assume you're wielding it in 1 hand)

2: Make sure you've activated Power Attack on the "In Play" tab
 
Also the values it shows on the 'in-play' tab is the base values of -2/+4 but it will correctly apply the -2/+6 to two-handed weapons.
 
I have found an issue where Power Attack penalties are being incorrectly applied to CMB. For a power attack of -4/+8...-8 is being subtracted from the CMB. For -3/+6...-6 is being subtracted.

This is happening for me as well.
