I'm confused as to the description of some of the attack powers for my players' characters. I'm using Wizards character builder for this so im referring to their attack power cards they include in your character sheets.
For instance, the cavalier's "Vengeful Strike." At the top of the card it lists the cavalier's warhammer weapon It read: (warhammer: +8 vs. AC, 1d10+6 damage). Then follows the colorful description of the attack followed by the keywords.
The following spot is where I get confused: the "Attack" is listed as Strength vs AC, which is listed as being a +8 to hit and 1 d10+6 damage like listed above. However the description as to what happens if it hits is as follows: Hit: 1{W} + Strength modifier (+5) radiant damage. If at least one bloodied ally is within 5 squares of you, the target takes extra radiant damage equal to your Cha modidfer (+2).
My question is why is he only getting a +5 strength modifier when it should be a +6? His strength vs AC for basic attack is a +6 so why is this attack power only a +5? Do I follow the damage done for the attack power description or just what's listed at the very top of the card? Warhammer +8 vs ac 1 d10+6 damage?
