Adding weapons and skills to npc

[spite]

Weapons, PHB page 14: "For attacks with ranged weapons, use your Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls. A weapon that has the thrown property, such as a handaxe, can use your Strength modifier instead."


This is one of those shining moments where one bit of the rulebook differs from another. Ask you DM™

I think it should use charisma.... Imean honestly the only reason ANYONE would use a net as a ranged weapon would be to look cool doing it!

[Keene]

It is ranged, meaning it defaults to dex. The thrown property says "If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon." The net is not a melee weapon, however, and it does not have the finesse property, so...

Personally, I agree that it is perfectly reasonable to use your strength modifier with a net. It is always interesting to me, though, when official products seem not to follow the letter of the rules.

cool

Silly me, I forgot to check the character creation section for combat rules. Nice catch, spite.
