[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5233016, member: 71571"] Bonus damage from feats or enhancement bonuses don't apply to Furious Smash nor to Cleave secondary damage tho. Cleave doesn't get the benefit you're basing your decision off of. Ongoing damage, it does not apply to. A second round of damage, well it's easy; did you roll dice? You add the damage. Bonus damage applies to the miss if the miss says to do damage that is rolled. For most at-wills, that's a non-issue. And if you're using a feat, you're not rolling damage on a miss. The rule as it is is -very- simple. Does the power have the appropriate keyword (Weapon/Implement)? Are you rolling damage? If you answer yes to both, then you apply bonuses to damage rolls. If the answer is no to either, then you do not. A rule that simple doesn't need to be clarified, it needs to be -applied-. Don't get caught up in side questions... did I roll to hit? Is this the first round? Does this damage come from a miss, or a hit? Was it automatic? No, those questions are not relevant and only confuse the issue. 'Did you roll damage?' is the only one you need to ask. No corner cases, no exceptions, just straight up, did you do it. [/QUOTE]
