[[File:Hand Crossbows Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1|24px|link= Hand Crossbows]] [[Hand Crossbows]] by themselves do {{DamageText|1d6}} damage, which averages at {{DamageText|3.5|Piercing}} | [[File:Hand Crossbows Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1|24px|link= Hand Crossbows]] [[Hand Crossbows]] by themselves do {{DamageText|1d6|Piercing}} damage, which averages at {{DamageText|3.5|Piercing}}.<br> | ||
On top of that [[File:Dexterity Ability Icon.png|frameless|upright=0.1|24px|link=Dexterity]] [[Dexterity|Dex]] adds '''3-5''' damage with an average of {{DamageText|+4|Piercing}} damage.<br> | |||
Weapon [[Enchantment]] typically adds {{DamageText|+1|Piercing}} damage.<br> | |||
[[File: Sharpshooter Icon.png |frameless|upright=0.1|24px]] [[Sharpshooter]] adds {{DamageText|+10|Piercing}}.<br> | |||
All together it totals to {{DamageText|18.5|Piercing}} which is rounded to {{DamageText|20|Piercing}}.<br> | |||
In reality you character can have multiple items adding even more damage on top of each hit so '''20''' damage per attack sounds like a reasonable average. | |||
