Weapon Damage and Deed Die - Help Reading a Pregen Sheet
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2021 5:39 pm
Just starting to find my way around the game and have a question about one aspect of a 2nd-level Warrior pregen I'm looking to use ("Fireball" from "The Doom That Came to Christmas Town"). The main sheet has Melee attack d4+1 (which I understand to mean I'm rolling the d4+1 to determine attack bonus to the d20 with every attack) and Melee damage d4+1 (I'm assuming that's the default "unarmed" attack? I know this may be a special case because it is a reindeer...).
But under weapons, I read as follows:
Antlers
atk d4+1 (dmg 1d8+1=deed)
Is this just repeating that the attack roll is d20+d4+1 and stating that the damage is 1d8+1? What does the "=deed?" mean? Is this just a typo for "+" and reminding me to add the result of the deed die if I'm, as expected, rolling it every attack?
The 2nd-level dwarf pregen in the same adventure has, for example:
Handaxe
atk + *d4 (dmg 1d6+deed)
In this case, I understand the damage to be 1d6+the result of the Deed die, although I'm not sure what the "*" in *d4 stands for.
Thanks for any help!
