Hi Guys
First post on the boards. I have a question regarding Vulnerability and Elementally enhanced weapon damage.
I play a fighter archer and have speced to have a wide selection of bane arrows stacking with my +1 adaptive mighty holy longbow.
QUESTION: When I hit a creature (we'll say an Ice Elemental)with a vulnerability to an energy type (fire in this case), do I only multiply the damage dice of the respective energy type by the extra 50% or the total damage of the arrow. Example:
Base damage on my arrow:
1d8 (base arrow dmg) +
1d6 (flamming arrow fire dmg) +
2d6 (Outsider Bane arrow)+
18 (feat, weapon and mighty longbow strength bonus)
If we say all dice rolls are averaged (i.e 3 on a d6 and 4 on a d8) does it take...
4+3(+1 rounded down 50% extra)+6+18 = 32 damage?
or
(4+3+6+18)* 1.5 = 46 damage (rounded down)?
If the answer is the second, do you multiply the bane damage et al by the 50%...???
Thanks guys. Hope this helps anyone else who might have the same question.

Just the damage dice of the energy type the creature is vulnerable to. So in your example the 1d6 fire damage becomes 1d6 * 1.5
Great, thanks for clearing that up BB.It seemed way OP if it was the other way.
