I'm somewhat confused by the Ranger class attack powers from the Player's Handbook. Many powers require the player to wield two melee weapons. What's bothering me is the damage: the book says the damage for Careful Attack is 1[W]. But what if you are using two different melee weapons? For example, if I'm holding a longsword in my main hand, whose damage is 1d8; and a short sword in my off hand, whose damage is 1d6, which do I use for damage? The attack suggests that you use both weapons for the attack, but the damage is only 1[W], so what do I do?

Rangers making attacks with different melee weapons?
