    So I'm not understanding how to use the ammunition feature. I have a PC with a shortbow and a stack of 65 arrows. I've added the ammunition template to the arrows, and set the "Counts as ammo type" to "bow". On the shortbow, I've set the "use Style" to "bow". Attacking with the bow doesn't seem to consume any of the arrows though. I've tried various other combinations of the ammunition template, use style, and ammo type, but to no avail. What am I missing?

    On the attack selection screen, did you select the ammo?

    Ah! Thank you. At first, I wasn't getting a dropdown for the ammunition type when declaring an attack. I found out that the problem is that I didn't select "bow" as the Style on the player sheet's attack tab. I believe in 3.6, only 1-hand, 2-hand, and off-hand were available in that dropdown, so I hadn't even looked there. Lo and behold, "bow" is one of the options there now. This is what it should look like on the attack tab:

    Another thing is to make sure in the ammo section that the use is 0 & 1, not 1 & 1 - otherwise it won't deduct the number from the item tab. I found that out the hard way.
