[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6485456, member: 6785485"] Ah, thank you. I think I got it now. On the [B]attack[/B] roll you roll 1d20 + appropriate modifier for weapon type + proficiency bonus (if applicable, but I cannot imagine many {or any} PCs using a weapon they aren't proficient with). On the [B]damage[/B] roll it's simply the weapons attack die + the appropriate weapon modifier (STR or DEX). The precon character had me confused as it had +5 listed for the ATK bonus for the great axe. I see now that it was predetermined at creation to make the combat move faster. The ATK bonus already includes all of the modifiers, so it's simply 1d20 +5 for this fighter on his [B]attack[/B] roll, NOT damage roll. His [B]damage[/B] roll would be 1d12 + STR modifier (+3) in this case, and that is what they are spelling out on the character sheet. Designed for ease of use, once you know how to read it properly. :cool: Am I doing it right? [/QUOTE]
