I do think that adding all of them (15+dex modifier+6 enhancement bonus+6 to hit+proficiency) together would be too much. The bonuses I listed in the item power text were meant to represent the enhancement bonus and proficiency. I was trying to simplify the math but I think I just confused everyone (including me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). There is not much precedent for item powers but I tried to use them as a guide. For the most part, enhancement bonus and proficiency don't come into effect with item powers, so I wanted to make sure they were accounted for by the player. I revised the text to try to make that more clear. How does this look?  Standard Pistol (+1 to +6) Level 3+The brushed steel of this weapon has a dull gleam.Price: Lvl 3 +1 680 gp Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gpLvl 8 +2 3,400 gp Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp Lvl 13 +3 17,000 gp Lvl 28 +6 2,125,000 gp Weapon: FirearmEnhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls Critical Hit: +1d6 damage per plusPower (Encounter): Standard action. Attack one creature within 20 squares: Dexterity + 2 (proficiency + enhancement bonus) vs. AC; 2d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.(Level 8): Increase attack bonus to +3 and increase damage to 2d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.(Level 13): Increase attack bonus to +4 and increase damage to 3d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.(Level 18): Increase attack bonus to +5 and increase damage to 3d8 + Dexterity modifier damage.(Level 23): Increase attack bonus to +6 and increase damage to 4d10 + Dexterity modifier damage.(Level 28): Increase attack bonus to +7 and increase damage to 4d10 + Dexterity modifier damage.   My goal in writing the firearms was to make them less accurate and require more time to load but deal more damage. If you guys have any suggestions to make that work, please fire away! (pun intended) Thanks, Greg Tito</blockquote>
