[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5079670, member: 71571"] The enhancement bonus of a weapon applies to all damage rolls made with powers that weapon is used with. Weapon Focus is the same way. The rule is not specific on whether the power has the weapon or implement keywords. All it asks is 'Is this item the accessory for a power? Yes? Are you rolling damage? Yes? Then apply the bonus.' There are only two occasions that I know off the top of my head where this is not the case: 1) The bonus in question refers to weapon attacks/powers. This means 'a power/attack with the weapon keyword' and does not mean the same thing as 'attacks with this weapon.' The first is refering to the [i]foo power[/i] rule where attacks with keyword foo are foo powers. The second is merely refering to an accessory which happens to be a weapon. In this case, you do not apply that bonus to Implement attacks. It -would- however, apply to booming blade's secondary damage, because it IS a weapon attack. 2) The bonus in question refers to weapon damage. Weapon damage refers to exactly one thing: The [W], and is a stat that weapons have. 'Damage with this weapon' is not the same thing, and is merely meaning 'Damage dealt with this accessory.'
