Strenght bonus for monsters Options

[aigleborgne]

Hello,

Players use strenght bonus for melee weapons.

What about monsters?
I know bonus is applying for claw's type weapon, but for bite?
I have looked into many monsters in BG2, and some does have it, some doesn't.

For example, greater basilisk have 3 attack:
- petrification
- claw with poison (with strenght bonus)
- bite (no strenght bonus)

What do you think about that?

Not that all cre files are perfect or anything throughout the IE games but the above example at least makes sense.

I don't think a basilisk bite should have a strength bonus unless basilisks are known for having particularly strong bites The claw should as the basilisk can put the force of its body behind a swing (it is much harder to put bodily force behind a bite). On the other hand I would expect creatures such as the Sauhagin or Kua-toa to have powerful bites if they chose that form of attack.
