I saw some where that 18 strengh was a +6 mod, lemme guess...1.5 2 handed bonus?

Either that or it was on a monster stat block in which the monster only had a single form of melee attack. That, too, gives a ×1.5 to Strength bonus.

An easy way to remember the stat bonus is (STAT - 10)/2.

Thus, an 18Str is 18 - 10 = 8, 8 divided by 2 is 4.

Round all fractions down.

So a 15 Dex has a bonus of 15 - 10 = 5, 5/2 = +2.5 rounded down to +2.

Hope that helps!

For the record, and before someone points it out..there is another way to calculate the ability score bonus.

(STAT/2) - 5

Again, round all fractions down. Bonuses work out to be the same no matter how you do it.

An 18Str has a bonus of 18/2 = 9, 9 - 5 = +4

And so on...

Works for me, thanks...Now then any comments on the Camel?
