We had a way too hot summer =) Finally fall weather is coming, meaning
lots of rain. So soon we will have a way too wet fall ;)
Well, for the under 20th level guys the damage is pretty much
dmg*2 + 1 max. And max+min is dmg*2+1+1, thus easier to
just use dmg+1. We are comparing only efficiency, so can use
that form.
As for higher end guys and the strength bonuses into damage.
Read somewhere a guy from Verant say they are fixed. However
fixed +damage would be ridiculous, so it has to be fixed +%damage.
As such, it does not really matter that much if you do or don't add
them to the computations.
