Talk: Attack bonus (item property)

== Stacking? ==


I've noticed that the conditional AB property does not always stack (or maybe never). For instance, +1 Enhancement and +3 AB vs Giants does not result in +4 to hit Giants. Does anyone have the full info on what AB properties will stack with, if anything? (I don't want to have to do the research if someone else already has.)

== AB v. EB ==

the article mentions that AB will be used to determine whether or not dmg reduction is overcome. are you sure about this? i thought that this was one of the two salient differences between AB and enhancement bonus [aside from damage bonus being added] -- namely, EB will overcome dmg reduction, but AB won't [except in the case of monk gloves].

* AB from a weapon will overcome damage reduction.  AB from an effect will not. [[User:DrakeNight|DrakeNight]] ([[User talk:DrakeNight|talk]]) 17:18, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

−	* That difference between AB and EB exists in D&D, but not in NWN. In NWN, an enhancement bonus is an attack bonus combined with a damage bonus, and nothing more than that. --[[User:The Krit\|The Krit]] ([[User talk:The Krit\|talk]]) 18:42, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
