[4e] Weapon Damage
So your character has 20 strength (+5), and has a longsword.
He attacks and hits with a power that does 2[W]+StrengthBonus damage, but does it two-handed.
How much damage does he do?
2d8+6 or 2d8+7?
I can't find a quote either way in the rulebooks, and this could change game-balance at mid/high levels significantly...

Re: [4e] Weapon Damage
Can you actually cite a quote? Because I can find parts of the PHB that seem to back both assumptions, but nothing that goes out and says it... so I'm looking for actual evidence instead of just assumptions.

Versatile: Versatile weapons are one-handed, but
you can use them two-handed. If you do, you deal an
extra 1 point of damage when you roll damage for the
weapon.

Re: [4e] Weapon Damage
Hmm. The wording is slightly different (When you roll your weapon damage) as opposed to (added to damage rolls), but it is probably an example of just variant wording.
Sad. That means that Ver. weapons become more and more obsolete as you gain levels.
