Anyone know how to make a homebrew weapon that just does +1 to the damage roll but not to the attack roll? I tried adding a modifier bonus with both melee attacks and melee weapon attacks but they both seem to add to the attack roll. Obviously adding magic weapon adds to the damage roll, but it also adds to the attack roll.
The only way to add bonus damage to to add bonus damage to all your attacks* while the weapon is equipped. You can't add damage to a specific weapon except by using the customize option for a specific attack for a weapon you have equipped in the character sheet.
I'm trying to do something very similar but accross the board for all weapsons. Right now you can modify "Damage" but he only sub-option is melee weapon attack. I can't add ranged. It would be great if there were an option to just Add "Bonus" then "Damage"
reviving dead topic to say that the way to do this is to create the item, then open it up from a character sheet, open the customizations menu, and enter 1 in the "damage bonus" field.
For posterity!

It should be Damage, then Additional.
I had chosen the modifier subtype to be "Slashing" but if I do "Melee Weapon Attacks" it works properly. Thanks.
Wait, that's affecting all my weapons instead of just the one ... so still can't get it to work. There is no "Additional" modifier subtype.
Has anyone else tried to accomplish this? Have you succeeded or are you in the same boat as me?
It can't be done.

*within a certain category
Thanks for double checking for me. Seems like such a silly and obvious oversight. I'd be surprised if I'm the first one.
Yeah maybe that same gui you see on the character sheet to customize a weapon should be in the homebrew imo.
