I think I know where the added 14 damage is coming from.

Just a guess mind you, I can't prove it.

I think the strength bonus is being added twice. I mean, it makes sense. With 25 str, 14 is the exact damage adder. There is a missing 14 points of damage in the equasion. So, I am thinking something is bugged to make the strength bonus double somehow. I will have to tinker around to see if I can prove this.

As for your crossbow test Dundee, I have already concluded that str bonuses do indeed apply to crossbows as well in my game. I still could not explain the crazy damage rolls, but, if my theory is correct, as I mentioned above, the strength bonus being added twice is what is causing my missle weapons to become bazookas of mass distruction.

In a non buggy situation, heck, even 20 some odd damage is nothing to sneeze at, from a sling.

Hmmm thinking about it... This is why my darts do so much damage as well. I have long sat and wondered how I can do so much harm with a dart... Or my missle weapon Kensai.

Dundee, do you think it is possible my theory is correct?
