Greataxe Damage | EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews

I played at game day this weekend. I played as the dwarf fighter who had a greataxe and did 1d12+6 on his basic attack. This confuses me as he only had a 16 str. What am I missing? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd assume he had the Dwarven Weapon Training feat, which gives +2 to damage with axes and hammers, but where the final +1 comes from I'm not sure, as I haven't seen the game day character sheets. Does he have a +1 axe?

In answer to your first question, the base damage for a greataxe is 1d12. Unless an attack says otherwise, you add your Strength bonus and any other miscellaneous bonuses to that damage roll.
