Rules Discussion / Ranged +1 and Chain Lightning
« on: September 19, 2012, 08:48:34 PM »
So the "Hawkeye" enchantment gives Ranged +1 (Adds 1 attack dice to ranged attacks, has no effect on zone attacks). It seems pretty straightforward that this should improve Fireball and Lightning Bolt, as they are ranged attacks.
What about Chain Lightning? Unlike other area-effect spells it isn't a zone attack, it is a single target attack against a series of targets. Does Hawkeye buff the damage of CL from 5 dice to 6 dice?
If so, does this mean that the 2nd target recieves 5 dice of damage, instead of 4? That is, instead of rolling a theoretical maximum of 5+4+3+2+1 dice, CL could roll up to 6+5+4+3+2+1 dice?
Or does CL do 6+4+3+2+1 damage?
