Okay so what damage can you not add to the affect line.

I am a little confused, why cant you add everything when it is the same as an extra attack auto hit.

You wouldn't add damage that triggers on a hit (such as sneak attack damage) since the damage comes from an effect, not a hit.

Similarly, you wouldn't add damage that comes from a critical hit (such as bonus damage from a magic weapon, or a weapon with the high crit property) since the damage comes from an effect.

You would add bonuses to damage rolls since the effect is a damage roll.

EDIT: See this thread for a more extensive discussion.
 

Yeah I had read that thread but wasnt sure what some of them were saying.

You can still add dex, weapon, weapon focus, bracers etc.
 

Well as there is a damage roll you add all the modifiers to the roll, but see the below Sneak Attack description. It's a bit silly as you obviously hit them, but according to the rules you didn't "hit" them. There's a lot of effects that trigger on a hit (magic item powers are a big one IIRC), so this distinction is necessary. Because there was not attack roll required, there is no hit made.

SNEAK ATTACK
When you make an attack with a light blade, a hand crossbow, a shortbow, or a sling and hit an enemy granting combat advantage to you, that enemy takes extra damage based on your level (see the Sneak Attack table). You can deal this extra damage only once per turn.
 

Okay so its all damage except:

1. SA damage as you cant have it twice.

2. If its a crit it only crits on the normal line not the affects line, which is cool.

But things like Iron armbands you would put it on, and Light Blade experitese if you have CA.

Cool, thought I might have missed something.
