[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4852330, member: 40961"] Not to mention, if you DID get the temp hit points at some "hit" stage that occurs prior to the "damage" stage, at which point you'd get the bonus damage in the "damage" stage, then you'd always get the bonus damage. The only time you wouldn't receive the bonus damage would be on hits that deal damage on a miss, but still use the regular damage expression to calculate the damage. So, daily powers that do 1/2 on a miss. I don't believe that WotC intended that you receive the bonus damage on all attacks except those that are misses and which deal 1/2 damage on a miss. If they intended that, they would have said so. I think that is a far more powerful argument than arguing for the constant application of the bonus damage due to slight wording differences between different powers and inferences drawn from said wording differences. This inference is much, much stronger. [/QUOTE]
