Hi,

My glaive-wielding fighter has always struggled to hit his targets in combat, When he does hit, carnage is guaranteed however.
He recently pinged to Level 4 so I took the 'Weapon Focus - Glaive' feat to give him another +1 to Hit.

However, when I checked his To-Hit bonus it is only showing as +6
He has 19 STR, so his bonus should be 4 (BAB) + 4 (STR) + 1 (weapon focus) = +9

It feels like something isn't applying in the calculation correctly.

Also, when I was levelling him, I had the option of taking 'Martial Weapon Proficiency' when he already has it.

Something weird is going on here. A glaive is deffo a martial weapon isn't it?

I equipped his bow and the To-Hot drops to +2 which is his DEX bonus. It should be +6 if I add in his BAB.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.

I can't help you, but I am curious. When you are in a fight and this character takes a swing and you click on the blue text concerning his roll, what does it say?
The blue text just says "Brand misses" or somesuch (not at my laptop ATM).
There are no numbers in that section. Should there be?

Note that I equipped him with a shortsword and the 'To-Hit' changed to +8 which was correct.

I reloaded the save before he pinged to level 4 and picked 'Martiail weapon proficiency- glaive' but that had no effect on his To-Hit.
I just generated an example:

1) Click the blue 20-sided die emblem in the lower right of the screen to bring up the rolls display.
2) My example:

"Sneaky hits Dire Rat!" (the word 'hits' is blue) click the word 'hits'

This pulls up a pop-up screen that says:

"Sneaky attacks dire rat...

ATTACK BONUS
+2 class
+3 strength bonus
+1 size adjustment
-1 shield nonproficiency penalty
-1 off-hand or two handed attack while wearing buckler
+1 masterwork weapon
+2 charge attack
+7 TOTAL

Roll 12 + 7 = 19 Vs. AC 12 HIT"

All those blue terms are clickable to get explanations.
Cool - didn't realise that.
I'll check shortly.
Okay, I got into combat with my fighter and now I know the answer:
Brand attacks Skeleton:

Attack Bonus
+4 Class
+4 Strength bonus
-3 Feat: Power Attack
+1 Feat: Weapon Focus (Glaive)
+6 Total

Looks like I had Power Attack switched on somehow. I'm guessing that it defaults to be on when you buy the feat as I'm certain I didn't select it.

Well that solves it.
Thanks for your help in this Alcaray.
No trouble at all. I just happen to be replaying TOEE after a few years (I've never used Temple+ before). So I'm staying current with the recent gog comments.
