Flaming + flaming burst weapons

[Li Shenron]

This happened before: to know if a flaming burst weapon is ALSO flaming, or an icy burst is ALSO a frost weapon and so on.

In DMG description of these enchantments, it is said that a flaming burst weapon is also a flaming weapon. Flaming gives +1d6 fire damage, while Flaming burst give +1d10 on critical hits.

The discussion was if on crit a Flaming burst does +1d10 or +1d10+1d6.

Sorry to bring back this pain, but I just rolled for such a weapon in a treasure and I am very confused again. The "Flame tongue" specific weapon description, the weapon is specifically BOTH Flaming AND Flaming Burst, and the price is for a +4 Longsword: +1 (base) +1 (Flaming) +2 (F.Burst).

So how was that Flaming Burst damage really? For both crits and normal damage???

The flametounge was errata'd. Flaming burst weapons do 1d6 fire damage always, plus an additional 1d10 (or more) on a critical hit.

Check the DMG Errata. (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/dmgerrata.zip)

The price for the flametongue is incorrect, it's just a +1 Flaming Burst Longsword.

A Flaming Burst longsword does +1d6 on a normal hit, and +1d6 +1d10 on a crit.
