The fighter simply knows that this new sword feels better than his old one to swing and use. The fact it is +4 rather than +3 is just metagame knowledge. I always had a problem before wondering how a wizard actually identified such an itemWizard - "its a magic sword thats a bit better than you last one"Fighter - "I could have told you that"The identify spell was a metagame spell that never really felt like it fitted. I'm glad now its far more likely to pick up an item mid adventure and then use it rather than waited until you frag them all back to a town and get them identified or buy some pearls and do it yourselfHaving said that, we still find it amusing in our 4e games for the fighter to grab hold of a newly discovered wand and tell the wizard what its for...years of payback!</blockquote>
