I'm a new DM and I've noticed last session that one of my (new) player's Longbow has a +13 hit/dc at lvl 2. I've looked everywhere and recreated the exact same character with the exact same background and stats, the bow is not customized either and I don't understand where this is coming from. Here are the specs of the character:
Human Ranger
Manual stats: 9/15/15/12/15/12
Criminal/Spy bg, regular longbow and pack of arrows provided in character creation
Archery fighting style
With dexterity bonus, proficiency and archery fighting style I should get a +7 on the longbow (and I do on the character that I've recreated) but her character displays a whopping +13.
So far I've equipped/unequipped her bow. Deleted and re-added it. I went over all of her stats and didn't find a single thing to explain that +5 and I can't seem to find a stat breakdown anywhere. I'm afraid I might have to ask her to delete and recreate her character so I'm posting this here to ask for advice on how to solve this bug (which it does seem to be)
EDIT: The +13 bonus seems to apply to any ranged weapon
It’s a glitch where Archery Fighting Style is being added multiple times. Unselect the fighting style by scrolling up to the top “—” option. You may have to do this repeatedly until it “sticks” and then re-select it and that should correct it for them.
