Monster Feats: Are they factored?

[Grenage]

For example, I'm using a Mite - one of the feats is 'Point Blank Shot'; and the mite has a dart. PBS grants a bonus if the attack distance is under 30ft, and the max range of a dart is 20ft.

A) Does this mean that the feat has been included in the Mite's attack and damage rolls.

B) If the monster had a crossbow, would it be assumed that PBS was NOT factored into the attach and damage rolls?

Anything situational like PBS wouldn't be included. 20 feet is the range increment of a dart, not the maximum range. You could throw a dart up to 100 feet, taking a cumulative -2 on the attack roll for each range increment after the first (-2 for 25-40, -4 for 45-60, etc.)

The +2 dart attack bonus on the Mite's stat block come from size (+1) and Dex (+1).

The feats are not automatically included in most cases unless they are always on such as weapon focus. So if you have a feat such as power attack you have to do the math when you want to use it.

Wonderful, thank you guys; I suspected that might be the case, but it makes such a difference one way or the other, I thought I had better check.

Good to know about the range increments, also!
