Damage Boost and Ranged

[Ellyll]

Do damage boosts affect ranged damage?

If so, does this include all types, or only thrown?

I did a search and wasn't able to figure it out.

[Ellyll]

Has no one ever tested this before, then?

[Maxelcat]

I'll check it later tonight if I get a chance.

I'm unsure about fighter damage boosts, but some very similar effects do work.

Most notably, the cleric "divine might" enhancement works well enough to lead to MrCow's repeater xbow Machine Gun Nun. He was getting damage from Divine Favor, Divine Might, and the Bladesworn faith power.

[Ellyll]

Cool, now just have to test bows, ty!

If it boosts base damage and doesn't specify "melee only" or "specific weapon only" then it more often than not will work on any ranged and thrown weaponry. Such things include:

• Divine Power
• Divine Might
• Good Hope
• Inspire Courage
• Rogue or Barbarian Damage Boost
• Bladesworn Transformation (and other profane bonuses such as Litany of the Dead or Hezrou Cookies)
• Shintao Item Set Bonus
• Frenzied Berserker Item Set Bonus
• Past Life: Ranger (on projectile shooting weaponry only)
• Favored Enemy Damage
• ... and others I failed to mention.
