So the pdf has already been updated. Please redownload it for a better reading experience. Thanks to SecretACat in the spelling thread, a huge mixup when it comes to attacking was pointed out.
This happens cause I am human haha and this is like the culmination of several different google docs, each one in different forms when I decided to complete songbirds 3e, and each one being from different points within the last year.
FOR NOW I have settled on a DC for attacking and a DC for dodging. Similar to how mork borg/cy_borg does it. There might be a few more hiccups for me to catch in the text to make this proper. But the updated text has this information with the weapons section and in the "violence" section.
Something I'd love input on: I'm thinking of giving melee and ranged attacks different DCs. Melee would be DC12, and ranged would be DC15. With dodging being a DC18.
I think I'd have to fiddle with damage a bit more, but I think the benefits of using ranged weapons are and always will be that you aren't face-to-face with the thing trying to kill you.
I'll update this post if I end up doing that but I'd love thoughts.
