Flaming + Flaming Burst

[Halivar]

Flaming burst is described in the DMG as flaming with an extra 1d10 flame damage.

So, if I crit with, say, a flaming burst composite longbow, does that mean it deals:

1) 3d8 + 3d6(flaming) + 1d10(flaming)
2) 3d8 + 1d6(flaming) + 1d10(flaming)
3) 3d8 + 1d10(flaming)

Thanks in advance.

4) 3d8+3+1d6 (flaming)+2d10 (flaming burst)

4) 3d8+3+1d6 (flaming)+2d10 (flaming burst)

I agree with Caliban, but let me describe:

In 3.5, flaming's 1d6 finally stacks (as it always shouild have) with faming burst's d10s.

Since the longbow has a x3 crit, it deals +2d10 damage on a crit from flaming burst.

It always did.

"... acts as a Flaming weapon that also explodes..."

Just because the Sage makes a mistake doesn't make it true

4) 3d8+3+1d6 (flaming)+2d10 (flaming burst)

Where does the +3 come from?

Where does the +3 come from?

The bow must be at least +1 to carry the other abilities, and +1 tripled on a critical is +3.

Heh... gotcha. Thanks.

I like to allow masterworking's +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls to count as the required +1 enhancement bonus for adding weapon special abilities. But since it is pretty clear to me that that is not what the designers intended it is basicly a house rule I guess.

Especially considering that the masterwork +1 is a prerequisite for giving the sword a real enhancement bonus in the first place (not counting things like GMW).
