NPC 2h weapon damage is not correct - PFRPG

[Elaith]

Hello,

I just noticed that for an NPC who is using a 2h weapon - in this case a spear, when I give them a STR buff (+4) -It should add +3 to their damage (Stat was a 20, now a 24). But it is only adding a +2 to the damage. Trying to use a rage buff in this case.

I thought maybe spear might be glitchy, since like 3 different spears and one of them is a 1h version. So I tested it with a greataxe, and same issue, only +2 to damage.

This is for FGU, I have not been able to test this out on FGC as of yet. So I am not sure if this was the way it was in classic as well.

Does anyone know if this is a bug? Or perhaps it has never accounted for a 2h weapon in the case of an NPC?

I did a search for 'spear' in the ruleset and only came up with the damage type. So possible 2h mechanics were never coded for npcs.

If there is a 2h weapon mechanic in the rules set, could anyone point me at the right file? Or perhaps the correct wording to search for?

Thanks,

Ok, I tested out FGC, not working there either. So I guess it may have never been coded to work. I always thought it took certain weapons + str into account.

If I am mistaken, anyone have a good idea if it is possible to get 1.5*str mod to work for npcs when adding a strength buff?

Thanks again.

Yeah, I think the NPCs cannot coded in that way, In that case I would adjust the DMG effect correspondingly. The NPCs just have single strings for their attacks and damage, and there is no way to tell it that something is two-handed (or which STR multiplier it uses in general)

That is what I thought, Thanks. I'll just have to try and remember that and do it on the fly, when a caster cast's a strength buff on them in the future.

Appreciate the response. Was just one of those odd things that hit me during an all-nighter on getting stuff added.
