Not working properly

This is the default macro for my paladin using a greatsword. I do have Power Attack (2) and use it often. Even without the Power Attack, I can't seem to hit anything above AC7. Help! - 1d20>@{weapon1critmin} +@{bab}[BAB] +@{epicattackbonus}[Epic AB] + @{weapon1stat}[Ability] +@{size}[size] +@{weapon1enh}[Weapon Enh] +@{weapon1focus}[Weapon Focus] + ?{Flank (1=yes)|0}*2[Flank] +?{Power Attack? (put in penalty with negative sign ie -3)|0}[Pwr Attk] +?{Additional Attack Bonus?|0}[Ad'l Atk Bon]

If you just paste that as an ability on the character, without a /roll or [[ ]], you should see what all the bonuses expand to.  Try that and paste the results back to this thread.  That will help in tracking down if there is an issue.  Something might jump out as wrong when you do that as well.  Also, what character sheet are you using?

Change it to: 1d20cs>@{weapon1critmin} And you should start hitting things again ;) The  cs helps the dice roller determine if you have rolled a crit threat or not and display the dice accordingly. Check out the  Dice Reference in the wiki for more fun things to do with dice :) Also, I sense a fellow 3.5er!

I'm using the 3.5 sheet.
