hey guys another question, since feat requirements mean base values can i perplex up damage to 3 and still pounce? sorry i really am not sure.

another question with pounce and darkness within. darkness says before i make an attack i can push a teammate and get +1 to damage, what if for example i have a spidey with pounce and D.within and teammate adjacent to an opponent then i pounce spidey can i push my teammate and get +1 to my damage value?

No. The prerequistes for Pounce are a damage value of 1 or 2. A damage Perplexed up to 3 would exceed the prerequisites.

No. Again, the prerequisites for Pounce are a damage value of 1 or 2. If you increase the damage value up to 3 at all (whether with Perplex, ICWO, Darkness Within, etc), you are now violating that prerequisite.

The bonus from Pounce itself can bump the damage up to 3 because it occurs during the attack itself, not before. This is not the case with Perplex, ICWO, Darkness Within, etc: they all increase the damage either before the entire action or at least before the attack roll. For example, from the DC errata:

Darkness Within
• The pushing damage is dealt to the adjacent friendly character after the action is declared but before the attack is made.

You are pretty much capped at 3 damage (2 + 1 for Pounce) when you use this feat. If you want to squeeze a little more out of it, either pray for a critical hit (adds to damage dealt, not damage value) or use it on a Super Strength character and grab an object (also adds to damage dealt).

ooowww.. ok i get it tnx normalview
