Have two feats that add a damage bonus? They're both feat bonuses. Have +3 Frost sword, +3 Cold Dragon Shard, Iron Armbands +4 and +2 damage bonus from gloves? Total bonus is +4 because Armbands.Options that give bonuses from Class+Paragon+Race are power bonuses.Vulnerability is instead a bonus. So Lasting Frost is a +5 feat bonus to damage once Vulnerability is established.Anything that even hints of being extra damage is extra damage.Use Inherent Bonuses to provide 'Enhancement Bonuses'Then give all the bonuses per die except enhancement+stat. This both stops a lot of the OP abuse and boosts the big W attacks. So the 5W attack gets +20 from Armbands, but he could also get +20 from having a +4 Sword. Etc...But because the PC is say 16th level, each attack gets +4 per attack. So a 1w+1w+1w attack might only get +24 damage from feat+item, but will also get +10 per attack from stat+enhancement(+30) for a total of +54. Where the 5w attack will also get the +10 per attack from stat+enhancement(sad +10), but will instead get +40 from the boost for a total of +50.So that big 5W daily power is now 5w+50, which is better than the 1W+1W+1W of Rain of Blows, which is only effectively 3w+36.</blockquote>
