| The most common [[Combat Action]] to take is the Attack combat action, whether you are swinging a sword, firing an arrow from a bow, or brawling with your fists. With this action, you make one melee or ranged attack.
| | * As a [[combat action]], you swing a sword, fire an arrow from a bow, or brawl with your fists. You make one melee or ranged [[Attack Roll|attack]]. |
| | |
| When making an attack roll you follow these steps:
| |
| | |
| # '''''Target''''' <br>Choose a creature, an object, or a location within range.
| |
| # '''''Modifiers''''' <br>Apply bonuses or penalties from proficiency, ability modifiers, spells, cover, special abilities, and other effects to the attack roll.
| |
| # '''''Roll''''' <br>Roll a d20 and add your modifiers. If the roll is equals to or exceeds the target's [[Armor Level]] (AL), the attack hits. On a hit, you roll damage, unless the particular attack has rules that specify otherwise. Some attacks cause special effects in addition to or instead of damage.
