Commander's Strike Question

[Krensus]

This has probably been asked before, but I've browsed through and haven't found anything.

If I use Commander's Strike, can I add the higher of my ally's proficiency bonus or mine to the roll? Like for instance if they are using a +2 prof weapon and I'm using a +3, would they get +1 to hit? In addition, if I am using a +1 weapon and they are using a nonmagical weapon, do they add +1 to hit and damage?

I'm confused because Commander's Strike has the Weapon keyword, and common sense tells me that I wouldn't add these to another person's attack, but I just wanted to be sure.

The keyword just means that YOU have to be wielding/using a weapon to use this power. Thats all.

I have good luck using Google's site search. Just add site:enworld.org to your regular google search and it'll limit the results to just Enworld.

They make their own basic attack. Unless you actually gave them your weapon before using the power, they use their own proficiency bonus.
