The bonus equals your Strength modifier + 2 at 11th level and your Strength modifier + 4 at 21st level.The same ability, as they are under the same kind of bolded heading ("Comsic Magic") as "Combat Challenge".  Do you beleive that if you hit with any sorcerer power then the enemy knows you have STR to AC?As for the next jump:Assuming they are separate abilities, that would mean that in order for a monster to know about the 2nd ability after being effected by the first, would have to be an exception to the rule that a monster knows what hits them- so I ask you to find this exception, the one that says "If a monster his hit by an ability they also know a related ability's effects" if you say it exists.Additionally, your definition of "core" seems to be a bit off: By the rules, the way it's printed in the PHB is emphatically not core any more: Core is the most recent modifications.</blockquote>
