Hey, if someone's that obsessed they've earned the right to do that much
damage. And they've earned the right to run into people with all those
things too. EVERY session ;)

The +4 is a one time bonus. So it would be 26. I don't have my book, but
somewhere is says that the bonus is added once, not for every die. It
seems logical that this would apply to raise dice too.

Well I've always been of that mind that as long as you apply to rule to
both the good guys and bad guys equally the rule is always fair. Unless of
course there are a lot more bad guys with Yd12+X stats than good guys...
