I have a question for those much more knowledgable of NWN2 mechanics than myself

If a bow and arrows have the same type of dmg do they stack? Eg if you have a bow with 1d6 slashing would it stack with arrows that are 2d6 slashing? WOuld i be getting 3d6 slashing or only 2d6?

Take this same question and now apply it to crossbows and bolts.

If its anything like other weapons no it would only take the highest dmg type, but not 100% sure

As far as I've understood it, you'd roll 1d6 and 2d6 separately, and take the highest result only.

Ive always wondered this, i should try and experiment.

In all my years of looking at the equipment lists in the hand books and such and even on computer char sheets, how does a bow actually do damage?.

I wonder if that 1dx on a ranged weapon is the damage you get if you actually club someone with it.

Would make sense?

Ill look into this, see if i can find someone to let me club them with some ranged weapons.

I play:
Miranda Ildesserin-"You have no idea what fear is, the greatest fear a mother can have is that of her child growing up...alone"
Eisinar Mindblade: Illithid Soul Knife: "As long as I have my mind, i am never with out a weapon".

I plucked a bored cager and threw her into the arena and peppered her with all kinds of ranged pointy things and while it is hard to tell with any defintive certainty, similar damage types do appear to stack upon initial testing.

I cant be 100% sure but based on what i saw this appears to be the case.

I took a city watch guard npc, set their strength to 10, removed all its gear, and had the pc volunteer remove their gear.

i tried several like damage types across the variet of weapons such as short and longbow, crossbows and slings.

The pc was a lvl 25 Aasimar cleric so the only damage reduction was to electricity cold and acid.

Why do I do this?

Because if love Sigil Science!.

Thank you to casey for agreeing to be my willing pincushion.

Of course, again...i may be wrong, the builders and scripters and dms would know for absolute certain.

I play:
Miranda Ildesserin-"You have no idea what fear is, the greatest fear a mother can have is that of her child growing up...alone"
