So look up your attack bonus depending on the weapon an then look down what power you want to use and adjust the damage according to the weapon you use it with.

The actual damage properly written out should work on the normal sheet as this is easier for beginners.
Which is exactly what I said I was having the problem with. The issue isn't that it shows as 1d8+x or 1[w]+x, but the fact that it shows as 1d8+0 or 1[w]+0 instead of 1[w]+x

Having the damage box read 1[w] + modifier would be perfect. The way it shows now as 1[w] + 0 implies that there is no damage bonus and that it's straight weapon damage no matter what.

As I stated previously, I like the look and layout. I like the simplicity of the pro-sheet and I agree that it makes it much easier for people with multiple weapons (like me). However, I would think that it should include damage bonuses either in the form of straight number (because that's not likely to change based on your weapon) or at least by including the damage modifier category...
