in d20PFSRD
new player new to PF1... basic barb. Lvl 2 .. 16 str /14 con/16 dex/ 12 all else...   would someone please explain how a rage should work with and without Power Atk rage power...   me and my DM were miles apart now I know better than accuse a DM of not knowing his game but I would like a nonbiased opinion of the adds and dmgs applied...here is how I saw it  weapon great ax @ 1d12 no special mods anywhere ...condensed formula:per PF1 : 

Base Rage:( ATK +7  ( AC down 2, HP up 4 @ LVL 2 ))....PWR ATK  ( -1Atk +2Dmg +1.5xStr Mod  )no Rage Pwr in use...

Combo= rage & Pwr Atk...=(Atk +6,+2Dmg+1.5xStr Mod) (AC-2,HP+4)...
@ LVL2 + 2HD GrtT AXE= (Atk +6 , 1d12 +9Dmg)  why>  per Rage+4 bonus Str & Con...so STR 16 is 3 bonus add 4 makes
7 total sub 1 for PwrAtk = +6  ......   3+4+2 bonus Dmg .... or 16+4= 20 = +5 x1.5=7.5 RD Down 7 +2 Pwr Atk....

where am I wrong...  his (DM) was so different I didnt get his formulas ....  help

    The fact of the matter is, it is the DM's decision unless they say they are open to third party arbitration. So accept your DMs interpretation.

    I'm assuming you mean the power attack feat and not rage power, because I don't know what that is.
    BAB: +2
    Str: 16
    With rage, you get a 20 str which is a +5 str mod. 2 (BAB) + 5 (str mod) - 1 (power attack) = +6 to hit.
    You're wielding your weapon 2-handed, so you get 1.5 x str mod to damage, which is 7. Power attack also gets a bonus if you're wielding a weapon 2-handed, so it becomes -1 to hit for +2x1.5 = +3 damage. This makes your total damage bonus 7 (str mod x 1.5) + 3 (power attack bonus x 1.5) = +10 to damage.

    Paizo's pathfinder forums are going to be a better place to get answers to things like this.
    As oldraven said, the DM always has the final say.
