I have encountered a situation in Pathfinder which I believe may be an issue in Fantasy Grounds, but before I report it as such, I wanted to make sure I understood the PF rule correctly.
A character with Str 16 wielding a two handed weapon has a damage bonus from Str of +4, ie. +3 x 1.5 rounded down.
If a spell temporarily boosts this character's strength by 2, it was my understanding that the damage bonus for wielding a two handed weapon should become +6, ie. +4 x 1.5?
Is this understanding correct?
When using an effect on the character giving Str +2, Pathfinder boosts the damage by +1, +5 total. It seems as though the damage bonus is still calculated on the Str 16 (rounded down) and then the Str boost gives a +1 on top.
Is it FG that's doing it wrong, or is it me who misunderstood how to handle this situation in PF?
