How do you calculate the attack and damage bonuses for a level 1 barbarian? Assume an 18 (+4) strength and the Power Attack & Weapon Focus (Greatsword) feats.
My attempt to do so is below, but I am not sure if this is correct.
regular attack: +6 atk, 2d6+6 dmg
power attack: +5 atk, 2d6+8 dmg
power attack while raging: +9 atk, 2d6+12 dmg
Best Answer
First case: The attack bonus is correct, +4 for strength, +1 BAB, +1 WF. The damage is also correct, 1-1/2 strength bonus. Second case, attack bonus is correct, but the damage is incorrect.

This actually means that its supposed to be 2d6 + 9, as the bonus is +3.
Third case, your raging strength is 22. That is a +6 bonus, meaning +8 normal raging attack bonus, and +7 when power attacking. The damage is 2d6 + 12, just as stated.
Correct (and downvote) me if I'm wrong, not exactly a PF expert
Edit: I'll add how to calculate it for future reference:
Attack bonus: That is your BAB + strength modifier + any feats and buffs
BAB: in the barbarian case, it is equal to your class level Strength modifier: not 1-1/2. In ranged attacks, it is the Dex modifier. Feats: In your case, Weapon Focus, although others may apply.
The damage bonus: your strength modifier (or 1-1/2 of it when fighting with two hands and a non-light weapon) + any relevant feat bonuses
Feat bonus, in your case is the Power attack, described above.
Edit 2: As Rob noted in the comments, it is extremely helpful to have a character sheet when enraged, and when not. It means that you have all your stats written down, including the attacks, and you can just switch as you start raging.
