A question for which I hang my head in shame

[Simon Atavax]

Let me preface this by saying that I haven't read my Player's Handbook all the way through yet, and haven't had time to play a single session of 4e. I'm just learning slowly, here.

Ahem.

So can someone tell me what the "[W]" means in some of the power descriptions? Like, "Does 2[W] damage" or whatever? (Don't have my book handy).

Damage by weapon, aka weapon damage dice. See page 219 and 276.

To clarify:

If you use alongsword (1D8 damage) and your power tells you 2[W]. You deal 2D8 damage. Using a dager you only do 2D4 damage...

To clarify:

Ah, yes, that was a good clarification! Otherwise it would be just the word explained and not the rule. Thanks.
