[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 4836789, member: 552"] Those would be unchanged. I think that those are a little bit more flavorful and they don't bug me the way (for example) weapon expertise does, where it almost seems like a required feat. Well, the +6 item bonus refers to items like Iron Armbands of Power, which give a +2 bonus to melee damage per tier. There's a similar item for bow/crossbow users.
