You see, unless you are using a Quick weapon, players automatically add their Attack bonus to a d20 roll made to harm an enemy, with Attack being a combined damage/to-hit bonus.<br /><br />As such, most players will start dealing 1d6+1 damage on a hit at level 1, and these bonuses increases gradually with level. Fighters, for instance, have an attack bonus that increases by +1 per level, meaning even with armor they can still make mincemeat of most monsters.Yami Bakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266174008401745128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473866157250794633.post-16921296580131666042021-03-09T11:38:41.110-08:002021-03-09T11:38:41.110-08:00How available is armour?

With heavy armour + helmet and shield, that's DR 6, which makes you very hard to harm with basic weapons.<br /><br />Or is that countered by higher damage bonuses? Or automatic hits?red_kangaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557117448147974364noreply@blogger.com
