[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 4089172, member: 2804"] I'm 99% positive that it applies to AC. But I don't think it applies to damage. Damage dealing is very flat across the spectrum. If you look at the damage output of a high level monster compared to a low level monster, there is some difference but not much. I expect that increased damage from high level characters will come from higher level powers doing more base damage, level based stat bumps which increase the modifier and thus damage, and bonuses gained from wielding magical weapons. I predict that PCs are expected to gain a +1 weapon/implement every 3 levels or so. Unlike prior editions where +5 was as high as it goes, I think by level 30 characters could conceivably have +10 weapons/implements (they are epic after all). With another +3 to +5 in damage coming from stat bumps, this amounts to about the same as just adding 1/2 level to damage. So to keep the game balanced with magical weapons and stat bumps, I predict there will not be a 1/2 level modifier added to damage. [/QUOTE]
