	==Attacks==		==Attacks==
			When you make an attack action you spend your action to use the number of attacks that are available to your character with a default of one unless your class provides an extra attack. The attack roll is a 1d20 + 4 (Proficiency bonus) + Ability modifier. When making a melee attack the ability modifier is Strength and for Ranged weapons it is Dexterity. The exception for this is when the weapon has the finesse property, allowing dexterity to be used.

			Some spells are also attacks and they use the casting attribute of the class as the ability modifier instead.

			On a rolled 20 weapon attacks will become a critical hit, rolling the weapon dice again and adding it to the value. EX: A shortsword that critically hits is a 2d6 instead of just 1d6.
