Enchanted Weapon Lightening / Fireball question

Unread post by ricco »

If have an Enchanted Weapon user with Lightening or the Fireball spell attack. When you use that magical projectile do you get any type of bonus added to your roll? If so where does that come from? If not and this is a dumb question please let me know.

-Thanks

I only ask this question because if the lightning that shoots out of my character's enchanted weapon has no bonus it seems like it will not hit very often. Does it use the swords strike bonus or is there a spell attack bonus or maybe these abilities that enchanted weapons have no bonus? Surely someone here knows the answer to this question!

Thanks Guys

If it's like fireball the spell then it's a dodge roll of 18 by the target.

I would say you either get the bonus you get from swinging the weapon, so your PP bonus and any WP bonus and any other generic bonus to Strike, such as from the weapon.
OR you do it like Gimpman said. The Target rolls a save, you do not roll anything.
Damn ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol! Damn everyone who won’t damn ICE/BCP/Border Patrol!! Damn everyone that won’t put lights in his windows and sit up all night damning CE/BCP/BorderPatrol!!!
If you support ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol at this point, you would have called the Gestapo on the people surreptitiously moving into your neighbor's attic and huffed that you were only following the law.
