Base attack

Post by michael5229 »

So i made a paladin and am level 4 my scrip it saying for Example

Rissa Ridnarea Attacks Zombie : *hit* : (16 + 4 = 20)

I see 4 is my base attack, then

some times it will say for example

Rissa Ridnarea Attacks Zombie : *hit* : (10+7=17)

And I see 7 is my attack bonus.

I'm just trying to see how much i have to roll to hit & what the enemys AC is

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

You can only hit when you roll a 20. Sorry. And if you roll a 1, you must play dead.

Kidding - that would all be in your log. Some items will give you bonuses to attack, such as a +1 longsword. You will have to read the log to determine creature bonuses or resistance. There are no files regarding this.

You may have 14 strength for 2 bonus points and a +1 longsword.

makes for attack bonus 4 + 2 + 1 = 7.


You may also get a few points bonus from attacking enemies from invis/stealth, attacking larger creatures with a small stature player, flanking enemies, attacking prone enemies...

"Base attack bonus" is what it says, your attack bonus without any modifier.

Cheers,
