Heyo,

Playing in a local group I want to bring forward the following combination:

Race: Bugbear (To allow the use of Large Weapons, +2 STR)
Class: Bararian (Berserker, to use 'Howling Strike' 1W+1D6+STR Level 1 At-Will)
Theme: Unseelie Agent (To Create the 'Magic Weapon' bonus at level 1)
Feat: Fullblade Proficency

Using the Agent to create a +1 Large Fullblade (+3 Prof, 2D6 DMG, 2Hand, High Crit, Heavy Blade)

Ideal Combination: +9 to Hit at 20 Strength while attacking with the Fullblade +1, dealing:

1D6 +1
1D6 +1
1D6 +1
+5 DMG
----------------- Min 11 Damage, Max 26

And thanks to High Crit,
7
7
7
1D6 +1
1D6 +1
+5 DMG
----------------- Min 30 Damage, 40 Damage Critical

The Real Question: Can the Unseelie Agent Theme Benefit be used to create large weapons? I'm not sure if this has come up before but it seems on the more powerful side of at-will attacks for straight created level one characters. Especially at +9 to hit.

I have a related question. Can it be used to create a quarterstaff that can then be used as an implement? What about an accurate quarterstaff?

Thanks for the quick response.

On a side note, the way damage enhancement is worded seems counterproductive.

+1 to Damage Rolls seems like it would add a single point of damage to every damage die you role while using said item.

+1 to Damage on the otherhand seems like it would add a single point of damage to every attack used with the weapon. Which is apparently how the mechanic works, is there a reason why the word 'Rolls' is used?

The rule is written that way to exclude damaging effects and attacks that don't roll dice, e.g. Magic Missile. In D&D terms, a "damage roll" explicitly includes all the dice you roll. See page 22 of the Rules Compendium.

Makes sense now, thanks.
