Alright, the following is mostly going to be a bunch of math questions, but some will directly apply to being a Swordmage. If you aren't in the mood to answer questions, that's totally cool and you can ignore this. Otherwise, I'd like to thank you in advance for helping me.P.S. Mods, if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to let me know/move it.P.P.S. I'm going to refrain from naming items/powers/etc from books other than the core books for copyright issues.The following is stats from my character important to this thread:11th level Genasi Swordmage (Stormsoul, Windsoul)Aegis of Assault class feature chosenSTR 19DEX 11CON 16INT  22WIS 11CHA 07 (I know about the stat point discrepancy, consider it a house rule not important to this thread.)FEATSRaging Storm (+2 on damage rolls with keyword thunder/lightning powers)Weapon Focus (+2 on damage rolls with Heavy Blades)Feat from FRPG (+3 energy damage on basic attack granted by Aegis of Assault class feature)Feat from FRPG (Use INT instead of STR for basic attacks)ITEMS+2 (Lightning Weapon) KopeshArm slot item from AV that grant +2 damage on melee damage rolls1) I'm assuming a Swordmage is allowed to use a Khopesh, listed as both a heavy blade and an Axe. Is this correct?2) When making a basic attack, I use my INT mod instead of my STR. The feat granting me that does not mention it applying to damage, but page 276 of the PHB says (usually) the stat mod applied to the attack is the same for the damage. Do I add my INT mod to damage for a basic attack, or my STR mod?3)This has been answered before, but I wanted to double check. If I activate my Lightning Swords at-will "all damage is lightning damage" ability, does it apply the Lightning keyword to any attack I make with it while that is in effect? Maybe just to attacks with the Weapon keyword?The last few questions deal with calculating damage with my powers. When I ask "What is the total damage for this power?", I'm asking for something formatted like: 1d8+10 for 1[W]+STR mod.I'm assuming the following, regarding using my Kopesh, any of which may be wrong:Basic Attack with a Keyword Weapon power= +15 (+5 half level, +6 INT mod, +2 Enhancement, +2 proficiency). This attack would be 2 less (+13) for a Keyword Implement power.Basic Damage (using STR) = 1d8+10 (+4 STR, +2 Weapon Focus, +2 Enhancement, +2 Item Bonus)4) One of my At-wills does the following: 1[W]+INT damage, then if the target moves away, it deals 1d6+CON thunder damage. The power has the keywords Thunder and Weapon. What is the total damage for this power, and would it change if I activated my swords Lightning at-will power? (I'm confused about the 1d6+CON mostly, and what [if any] would be different between it and the first roll).5) Another of my powers is a ranged 3, has the keywords Implement and Lightning, and deals 1[W]+INT lightning damage. I believe I'm correct in thinking I don't get a weapon proficiency bonus because there is no Weapon keyword, but I still get the weapons Enhancement bonus to the attack and damage(?). What is the total damage for this power?6) This power question is similar to #4, but instead of having two damage rolls on one target, it has a damage roll on a primary target, and a different damage roll on a secondary. It has the Lightning and Weapon Keywords, Deals 1[W]+INT damage to the primary target, and 1d6+INT lightning damage to the secondary. What is the total damage of this power?7) My Aegis of Assault class feature power grants a basic attack when someone I marked attacks someone else. Would the only difference between this and a normal basic attack be the +3 damage from the feat I took from the FRPG?Lastly, I'm curious how my defenses stack up against another 11th level defender. I'm way more damage oriented than defense oriented, and this isn't as important to me as the questions I posted, but it would be cool to get some feedback from other defenders.AC 29    100 HP    Resist Cold/Lightning/Poison/Force 10FORT 22REF   23WILL 20I have a floating +2 to saves granted from the feat Solid Sound that will active 80-90% of the time, and I can add +3 to my saves with a stance daily power.</blockquote>
