I still get confused over this. Suppose my bloke does a natural +7 to damage through his strength. He then uses a bow giving an additional +3 to damage with arrows giving +2 to damage. Is the bow damage and the arrow damage cumulative giving a +5 to damage on top of the arrows standard damage rating...ie 1D4. Effectively giving a possible (not critical) 9 damage for one arrow and then his +7 strength bonus added giving a base score of 16 damage. Or am I barking up the wrong tree here...........this still confuses me.

It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too.
