Damage when equipped?

What the difference between damage and damage when equipped?

[ExcaliburV]

Damage is the base weapon damage, damage when equipped is the weapon's damage while also including any items, feats, class features, etc. that your character might have to increase damage.

[Lord WoffingShire]

damage is just the damage that the weapon does, e.g. a longsword does a d8, so 1-8 damage.

Damage when equipped is how much it will do when the selected character is weilding it. so if you have a character with +3 strength the same longswords damage when equipped is d8+3, 4-12 damage.


Note: this is inaccurate on non-medium creatures. weapons don't properly display their damage when equipped until they ARE equipped. If you have a small character a longsword they have equipped will say it'll do 1-6 damage while one in the party inventory will say it'll do 1-8.
