Second Sting Ranger Feat

[Neo2151]

Reading the feat from Nethys, I'm having a hard time grasping exactly what damage is dealt.

For sake of argument, say a Ranger is using a longsword/shortsword combo and uses this feat, which activates when Ranger misses their initial attack with longsword - what happens?

You would deal the damage that the shortsword would do without the dice.

So instead of doing like 3d8 + 5str + 2weapon specialization with the Longsword, you just do 5+2 with the Shortsword if you missed the attack.

Lets say you are playing a level 13 ranger with 20 str. With a shortsword secondary you would deal 8 points of damage. 5 from strength, 3 from weapon specialization.
