bug in gesen bow?

Post by Lucian_Garland »

ive wondered why the gesen bow does so little damage, but the answer seems to be that when looking at it in infinity explorer its listed as 0d6 damage.

hmm, appearently i didnt read the description very well..it says 2 piercing damage +1-8 electrical damage..and the mod i looked at in infinity explorer said 0d6+2 piercing damage..and below 1-8 elec..
but its still superior to tansherons bow, the gesen bow being a +4 weapon

Here is what the damage is listed as in Infinity Explorer: Damage: 0D6+2, 1D8 electrical. This means that it does 0D6 + 2 piercing damage, which translate to 2 damage every shot, and 1D8 electrical damage per shot. The reason the 0D6 is there is because of the game structure, there must be a die roll for damages. Since it is 0, it means no die, therefore 0 damage + 2, so it becomes 2.

0D6 + 2 = 2D8 Right?

no, wrong hehe
1d6 + 2 means there is a 6-sided die rolled and then there is 2 added to the outcome.
But since it says: 0d6, there are 0 six-sided dice rolled and then there is 2 added.
that way the outcome will always be 2, no matter how hard you try to roll those 0 dice :)
