Attack Bonus problems

Remove all ads!

My Barbarian2/Fighter6 has his attack bonuses messed up. I noticed this at some point in the Temple when he stopped being his murderous-self and became a useless windmill(4 attacks),and I'm not sure what's causing this. He's dual wielding and I guess he should have something like +12 mainhand +11 offhand. Now it's gone down to +1 on both. Lovely.
When he's unarmed his main hand gets +12, but using weapons drops it back to +1.
The only thing I can think of is when he leveled up to 8th he took the weapon focus(Dwarven Waraxe) feat, but I hope this is unrelated, unless weapon focus(X) makes you use weapon X or suffer a (major) attack penalty. Other feats he has-two weapon fighting+improved, two weapon defense,power attack+cleave+great cleave.
So, anybody know a reason for this?

 

You can click on the "+1" to see exactly how the game calculates the bonuses. (One of the boxes explains how the values are calculated, generally; the other box gives you the point-by-point calculations of your specific situation.) Probably there's some major problem giving you a -10 penalty or somesuch -- like equipping an Axiomatic weapon on a Chaotic character. Or maybe you have Power Attack cranked to the max and it's sucking away your attack bonus.

I often click the value boxes to see exactly why the game is giving me the specific values. Very helpful!

 

Thanks Grey,very helpful indeed. I thought I couldn't equip a "miss-aligned" weapon at all that's what was causing the big penalty.
