I have the starter set and I am wondering if a pregenerated character's attack bonus is wrong.

The character is the Human Fighter with the Folk Hero background.

The attack bonus for the Greatsword is +4: +2 from STR and +2 from proficiency, so this seems correct.

The attack bonus for the Longbow is printed as +7, but I only see +3 from DEX and +2 from proficiency. Am I missing something?

There are a couple of others that seem to be off as well.

  • Still... I didn't ask about stacking. I answered my own question. The question marked as a duplicate, may relate to my question, but is not exactly the same. I pretty much asked where the stacking came from. The character sheet provided didn't state so. The update to my question regarding the duplicate answered this. Thanks anyway. – jremydeaton Sep 12 '15 at 01:11

    This is no longer marked a duplicate of the stacking question. (I mentioned it as "related" because it is, but it's not a duplicate of it.) It is a duplicate of the "attack bonuses seem wrong" question though, so it's been marked as such. No worries though: it's not a bad thing at all. We like duplicates, because they provide another wording that points toward the answers. Thanks! – SevenSidedDie Sep 12 '15 at 01:58

Two seconds later, I figured it out:

Fighting style = Archery - Gain a +2 bonus.

Sorry for wasting space, but hopefully it will help others.
