    Issues with Minimum/Negative weapon damage rolls. PFRPG

    Hello,

    I hope this is the right spot to put this issue.

    This is for the PFRPG ruleset using FG Unity.

    When a player rolls a weapon damage roll and does minimum damage, it is adding it as subdual damage.

    If a player does negative damage it is healing the target.

    In pathfinder, a weapon should do a minimum of 1 damage, and it is lethal.

    Don't recall having this issue in the classic version. But first time I really had a 1d4-3 weapon attack

    [DAMAGE (M)] Rapier [EFFECTS +1] [MIN DAMAGE] [TYPE: piercing,nonlethal (1)] <-- Is what I see for the minimum damage roll.

    Hopefully this can be looked into, or maybe I am missing/not seeing some flag I can add.

    Thanks,

    -Elaith

    Ok for the nonlethal damage - I noticed it did just a flat 1d4 roll and rolled a 1, instead of the 1d4-3 roll - so not sure why it occasionally is changing up the damage.

    Could not find at time of posting, but here is a negative damage attack:
    [DAMAGE (M)] Bite [EFFECTS +1] [TYPE: 1d3 (-1)] (did -1 point)
    Heal [1] -> [to Blime]

    Ok, did some more testing. When it does nonlethal, seems like the damage die is not always correct. I do 1d4-3 damage on norm, I have a +1 damage effect. So should be 1d4-2, I rolled another damage roll that gave nonlethal and showed 1d4-1.
    [DAMAGE (M)] Rapier [EFFECTS +1] [MIN DAMAGE] [TYPE: piercing,nonlethal (1)] (1d4-1 / rolled a 2).

    I do see it does occationally roll 1 damage as lethal, but other times it does the nonlethal, so I am not sure what is going on. This is all from the same hotbar action. So not sure if the hotbar slot is messing up or not.

    Ok, the healing part has been solved. *sigh* player typed a d3 in the damage (so was not actually rolling a d3), just added the -2 for strength. I helped her correct that, and seems to have resolved that problem. (Sorry for the issue there.) However - subdual is still showing up. I even rolled a crit (2d4-4) and it showed up as subual (which is sad, I know).

    This is correct, as per the "Minimum Damage" rules.

    Wowsers, thank you for pointing that one out. Not sure I ever noticed that one. But I rarely play weaker characters. Thank you for the reply. Everything back to normal.
