Ranged Weapon Damage Question..

By _-Target-_, in WFRP Rules Questions

Sorry if this has been spelled out, but when calculating damage from a range attack, do you use agility.. IE Agility + Damage value of weapon.. is this true for all ranged attacks? IE a thrown weapon seems like it could be argued that strength is the stat added, but say a black powder weapon the intrinsic value of the weapon..

again sorry if a good search would have revealed this, I didn't see it asked in the first several pages of the forum.

Yes, all ranged attacks (generally) use Agi + DR. I believe that there is at least one Ranged Attack Action card for throwing weapons that allows St to be used, though.

Thanks, I didn't check for action cards, and I had been running our group that it is AGI... was just checking confirmation..

All weapons with the "Thrown" item quality allow a user to choose whether damage is calculated using Strength or Agility. They also add the users Strength fortune dice to the action pool rather than the user's Agility fortune dice.

Thanks Thorvid, I didn't even think to check the weapon type special rules.. that makes it very clear...

They really have worked out a very good system it seems... Of course my group keeps almost dieing every combat.. but I did warn them..
