[QUOTE="DemonLord57, post: 4344185, member: 71260"] Dracosuave: You seem to misunderstand keywords. You don't "apply" keywords to damage. They are on the power, and they tell you what to do with the power. If the power has damage keywords, you distribute the damage equally between all of the damage keywords. That is how it works. There is no keyword to the damage dealt by a power, there is only the keyword of the power. When something deals cold damage, the damage does not have the cold keyword (and according to custserv, the power doesn't need to either, for some stupid reason). If you don't believe me, read page 55. Not to sound insulting, but I keep trying to read your post and it kind of gives me a headache. Try being more clear with what you are trying to say. Again, not trying to be insulting, simply saying how it seems to me. As for the at-will powers of the weapons, this has been explained multiple times already. When you use this power, [B]all[/B] of the damage is converted into that type of damage. Otherwise, it may or may not all be that kind of damage, depending on whether or not you have other damage keywords on the power you are using. Could you explain how you get to the interpretation that the power's keywords gain the class or racial power's keywords? Keep in mind that they are separate instances of powers, and not used simultaneously. [/QUOTE]
