Post subject:  AB and enchantment

Do they stack? I saw some guys topic about level req's and it seems to say that they do

no. an AB bonus just provides AB and enchantment is both AB and damage. the higher AB bonus will show, and the enchantment damage will show.

for example:

+5 ab
+4 enchant
is +5 attack bonus and +4 damage


+3 ab
+4 enchant
is +4 to attack and damage. the +3 ab is overridden

They don't stack, the higher AB of the two applies, while the damage from Enchantment is retained.

This. And for the record, if you have a weapon thats +5 AB, it cuts through DR that is, say, 20/+5, just like enhancement would.

The only difference between enhancement and AB, is damage.

Additional fun fact:

The damage bonus granted by Enhancement is the same type of damage as the weapon's type of damage. Thus, a short sword with Enhancement bonus +2 would grant +2 piercing damage, while a long sword with Enhancement bonus +2 would grant +2 slashing damage.

Weapons which already feature bonus damage of the weapon's type will not gain extra damage from Enhancement. The higher value of the two will stack.

Example:

Long Sword
Enhancement Bonus +1
Bonus Damage: Slashing +3

The above weapon would only give you +1 to AB from the Enhancement and not the +1 to damage, as there is already bonus Slashing damage on the weapon of a higher number.

OP mention level req's though. As AB and Enhance are seperate listings on a wep, they will stack for the purpose of increasing the level requirement a wep has.

For example, level requirements ona longsword:

Nothing on it: Level 1

+4 Enhance ONLY: Level 13

+5 Attack ONLY: Level 9

+4 Attack AND +5 Enhance: Level 18

But as to how those things affect you, it's what everyone else mentioned.
