[ACG] Warpriest Blessings and Ammunition


Rules Questions


Do the Alignment-based Warpriest Blessings confer their bonuses to ammunition when used on a ranged weapon? Or do they only work for melee (and maybe thrown?) weapons?

Relevant text:

Holy Strike (minor):
At 1st level, you can touch one weapon and bless it with the power of purity and goodness. For 1 minute, this weapon glows green, white, or yellow-gold and deals an additional 1d6 points of damage against evil creatures. During this time, it’s treated as good for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. This additional damage doesn’t stack with the additional damage from the holy weapon special ability.

The Holy Weapon special weapon ability explicitly does. Bless Weapon explicitly does not. So there's precedence both ways.

Scarab Sages

All of the weapon blessings specifically do not stack with the weapon enchantment of the same type. Fire blessing doesn't stack with a Flaming weapon, Holy Strike doesn't stack with a holy weapon, and so on.

This indicates to me that the blessings function as the weapon enchantment with a smaller damage die, and therefore would apply the benefit to ammunition if used with a ranged weapon.
