For example, a successful hit with a [[Dagger]] will lead to a D4 being rolled to determine the damage (referred to as 1d4 damage), whereas a successful attack with a [[Greatsword]] will lead to two D6 being rolled (referred to as 2d6) for a total damage of 2 to 12. Being caught in a [[Fireball]] will cause 8d6 points of damage, though a successful Saving Throw (see below) can reduce it to half. | For example, a successful hit with a [[Dagger]] will lead to a D4 being rolled to determine the damage (referred to as 1d4 damage), whereas a successful attack with a [[Greatsword]] will lead to two D6 being rolled (referred to as 2d6) for a total damage of 2 to 12.

For attacks made with weapons, the total value resulting from the roll is affected by the attacking creature's [[#Ability Score Modifier|Ability Score Modifier]]. For the damage of spell attacks, no such modifier applies, except when explicitly granted by a magical item or class feature, such as the [[Warlock]]'s Agonizing Blast invocation. | For attacks made with weapons, the total value resulting from the roll is affected by the attacking creature's [[#Ability Score Modifier|Ability Score Modifier]].
