Using a custom weapon in the Mace category, with 1 die with 4 sides for damage, Branwen does 6, 8 points of damage. "Add Strength bonus" is checked, but her Strength is 13. What's up?

What kind of test are you running ? Cause if it's a typical test case ... there are features which could always throw it off.

Like for example, the target having a ranged type weapon equipped. That gives +4 damage receaved from melee attacks.

Hmm. No, Yeslick doesn't have anything equipped. He's the one I'm using for a punching bag. The weapon doesn't use any weapon proficiencies either.

[The Imp]

Try to equip Yeslick with a mace. ...

Melee weapons receive +4 damage/thaco against targets without melee weapon equipped. Goes both for ranged and bare fists (except monk's).

[temnix]

Seriously? Wow. Well, how about fists of those who attack? Not the fists of the defender but the attacker's. Do they receive +4 as well? I guess not.

[GeN1e]

Probably not, though I never checked it.

Attacker (or defender) fist is considered a melee weapon only if attacker (or defender) is a monk.

What's up with hand-to-hand weapons, anyway? I was going to make this weapon an HTH originally, it's an iron knuckles, but HTH aren't equippable to any slot from the inventory. I haven't been able to get creatures with fists "equipped" to respond to the 183 effect, Use EFF While On Type, either, though that may deserve more testing. I would like to make a spell useful against monks and other hand-to-handers.

Are you accounting for proficiency stars? Attacking twice per round? Monks get a hardcoded "fist" item that is an actual (albeit invisible) weapon and levels up as they do. Like many things, I believe EE externalized this to some 2da or ini or other.
