<p>Dexterity is normally not added to ranged damage rolls. If you use a crossbow, a firearm or a normal bow• you don't add any ability modifiers to your damage unless a class feature or alternate rule allows you to do so. However, if you're using a sling or a thrown weapon you add your strength modifier to damage. </p>
<p>•• spoiler omitted •• </blockquote><p>I meant Hit as in Attack Roll. sorry, in my mind I think of the attack roll as the hit role, to determine whether it hits, and the damage roll to determine the damage. attack roll seems to vague to me though, now I think about it so does Hit haha.
<p>and thank you and thanks to everyone else for clearing this up for me.</p>Kudaku wrote:Leonhart Steelmane wrote: I've heard people say this but I can't seem to actually find the written rule anywhere. and I know that it doesn't apply to all ranged weapons like thrown weapons and slings.
