Question about powers that do static damage. What bonuses do I add to a power that does a static damage. For example take the runepriest power Word of the Blinding Shield. Normally it has no damage associated with it but when used with Rune of Destruction option it deals Con modifer damage. The power also contains the weapon keyword so do damage from sources such as a magical weapon or weapon focus feat apply to it? Or is that only when a damage roll is included?

It depends on what the source of the damage bonus says.  If it says that it's a bonus to damage, it will always apply.  If it says that it applies to damage rolls, then it won't add to static damage.

Lately I got quite confused about some damga issues (Btw yes I have read FQA, at least the sections that seemed relevant to me)

I am confused about the term "damage rolls" are they any damage benefits that work for every "damage roll" of say a daily power that deals 3 dice of damage? Or do damage benefits in general only apply once per attack?

For example is there a power/feat etc. that gives "+2" damage that would give you +2 extra damage on a attack that deals one dice of damage. But would give you +6 damage on an attack that deals three dice of damage?

Thank you.

No matter how many dice you're rolling, it is still only one damage roll.  A +2 bonus to a damage roll will only give you 2 points of damage, regardless of whether you're rolling 1 die or 6 dice.

Do the feats for Misty Step aply to Soul Step?

No because they are two distinct game elements with different name.

Question on the Monk utility Swift Flight:

Effect: You fly a number of squares equal to your speed + your Wisdom modifier. If you don’t land at the end of this movement, you fall.

Say my monk, Monk von Monklenberg III, has a speed of 6 and a wisdom of 14. He stands at the base of a 100' tall wall that is 30' deep. Activating Swift Flight, he takes off vertically, and then...

A) reaches the top of the wall, proceeds 8 squares forward, surmounting the wall with ease, and drops back down to the ground on the other side, because vertical movement when flying is free.

B) rises 8 squares to a final elevation of 45', then falls back to earth and takes 4d10 damage, because Swift Flight doesn't give a fly speed, just a number of squares one can fly and vertical movement burns those just like horizontal.

I say A, my DM says B. DM fiat aside, who is correct?

DM is right.  Up movement costs squares, and that wall is 20 squares high.

DOWN movement doesn't generally cost squares but that's called "falling" and there are rules for that.
