    How do a represent a minimum damage for weapon.

    Hello,

    I have a weapon description:

    Melee or Ranged Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage.

    However, I have a statement in the adventure that there is a minimum damage. A damage of 1 is to be ignored. Can I represent this in the action description? I thought about a -1 to damage but it doesn't say that, rather it just cuts off damage at a minimum.


    Thanks,
    Jason

    There is no minimum damage in 5e. The ruleset doesn't have any mechanism for ignoring any damage unless it is resisted in some way by the target. It's also unlikely that you'll ever do 1 damage if your modifier is +4. The least you'd do is 5 and resisted that would be 2 damage or zero if immune.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    you can kind of simulate this by shifting the value of the bonus. so change:
    Hit: 4 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage. which is a range of 5-10 to
    Hit: 4 (1d5 + 5) piercing damage. which is a range of 6-10

    This effectively makes the "1" value a 2. And even though its a 1d5 it should still roll as thats a valid dice string, but it wont show the animated dice since its not one of the regular die types (d4, d6, etc)

    About about reroll? Not sure if you can do that in an NPC description, but you can add it to a PC weapon's action.
