[QUOTE="erik_the_guy, post: 4326513, member: 70483"] When you don't use a power you use either: Melee basic attack (str) or ranged basic attack (dex). The exception to this rule is ranged basic attacks with thrown weapons that have the 'heavy thrown' property, which rely on (str) instead. The melee and ranged basic attack 'powers' are listed in the PHB (p287). Most of the time when the characters attack they will use one of their powers, in which case you use the information from the power to determine the attack and damage rolls and modifiers. Occasionally a character will make a melee basic attack (for opportunity attacks, or when a power allows them to) and you can use page 287 for reference. Most character will use their primary attribute even for melee attacks. For example fighters powers rely mostly on strength and rogues on dexterity. Many paladin melee attack powers use either strength or charisma. [/QUOTE]
