At 4th through 8th levels, the defense bonuses are +1.  Each of the attack bonuses and defense bonuses go up every 4 or 5 levels from those points.  I'm not going to list the entire table, but that should be enough to give you an idea.The inherent enhancement bonuses work like any other typed bonuses in 4th ed.  You take the higher bonus of the same type.  So, if your character is 10th level and finds a +3 sword, his attack and damage bonuses for that sword are +3 (your inherent bonus is +2 at that point).  Inherent bonuses cover attacks, damage, and defensive bonuses.Of interest is additional advice and recommendations on how to alter the treasure parcel system to accomodate these changes.  The DMG2 does not have as much information along these lines.* Of possible interest, the following appears in the introduction to the Fixed Enhancement Bonus section:-- Living Dark Sun?</blockquote>
