Characters with exotic weapon proficiency (baseball bat) are capable of using it one-handed without trouble and gain a ranged special attack with their baseball bat. The wielder of the baseball bat is capable of using the weapon as if it was a projectile weapon (thus transferring enhancement to the ammunition) with a range of 60. This special attack behave exactly like a normal range attack except the wielder may use her [[strength]] instead of [[dexterity]] for calculating her attack roll and damage roll (even if she normally couldn't add an ability score to damage), if the bat is used with two hands as a part of the ranged attack the damage is increased as normal for two-handed weapon. Unlike normal ranged attack it is possible to use [[SRD:Power Attack|power attack]] with a baseball bat's ranged attack as if it was a two-handed weapon (even if used one-handed). Using this ability require ammunition in the form a specially made ball costing a single silver piece.

4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
