We did keep track of it once and any hit enabled by bless counted as damage for the cleric.  BY the mid levels bless was doing anywhere between 20-40 damage per round for a level 1 spell.  We did something similar in regard to a Bard in 3.5 and discovered the bard was inflicting (indirectly) 150% of the parties damage. And you never know when you need to make a save and if players like having +1d4 to hit they love having +1d4 on a saving throw.  Most clerics also do not do much damage without resorting to a spell. Bless does with a low cost of resources used. Test it out with a level 8-11 5 man party with a fighter in it. I recommend taking the healer feat (or someone in the party taking it) or even at low levels. By level 3-5 you can use bless in every single combat and still heal people. Better yet see if you can get a thief to take the healer feat and take warcaster/resilient: con followed by alertness.</blockquote>
