Power Attack and Stacking Limits

[Argos]

Is the bonus damage from the power attack feat limited by the rules on power level stacking?

Example: Savage Man (PL10) has Natural Weapon 10 and a BAB of +5. He uses his power attack feat, with a -5 to his attack but +5 damage. Does the extra damage get ignored?

I don't think this applies, since the Hyena villian in the back of the book even mentions somthing similar.

[DrObvious]

No, it will stack normally. You can't have more than +PL to damage from powers, but other areas can bring it up past that.

[En Sabah Nur]

Question....if someone has a damage bonus of +8, then adds +5 from Power Attack, how does that affect someone with Protection +10? Does the Protection negate the weapon? Or does he make a regular damage save vs. +3?

[AaronUnicorn]

He makes a damage save at +3.

[Steve Kenson]

The damage bonus from Power Attack is not affected by the stacking limit (which affects powers, not feats) and is included as part of the damage bonus for determining whether or not a target with Protection needs to make a Damage save.

(In other words, Dr. Obvious and AaronUnicorn are quite correct.)
