A few questions on Past Life Feats (passive) please...
Specifically:
Monk Past Life (passive) grants +3 damage...
Is this overwritten by any other skill or ability?
Does Bloodstone or 'Seeker' stack with this - so could a fighter have Seeker +10 +Monk PL passive feat?
It this in effect from level one onwards?
Is this calculated at the beginning of damage - meaning it is a multiplicative addition to crits?
Fighter Past Life (passive) grants +3 to hit...
Is this overwritten by any other skill or ability?

It this in effect from level one onwards?
[/LIST]
I ask because it seems that any melee class - especially those with a high crit profile, would completely dominate any other fighting when they had these abilities. Just curiosity before I make a monster.
It just seems that a there are melee classes that could get stupidly high damage with this (when considering crit hits and base damage).
Likewise, Halfling Monk (3 fighter + 3 monk Past Life passive feats) would start off with +3 to hit and damage from passive PL feats, plus have the Halfling +1 to hit, plus step into Korthos gear +3 to hit total, for a combined +7 to hit possible at level 2 (3 maximum) - meaning he or she could run PA non-stop for a total PA bonus of +8 - still retaining +2 to hit in all of that - even before stat bonuses were considered. Likely it would be +12 or better per hit damage (considering stats and gear) - and for a melee class with 2H it would be over +20 - at level 2.
Seems crazy high to me.
Methinks my melee classes, and my arcane classes are wanting to test this (imagine an arcane class with starting +3 to hit and damage - cakewalk for L1-10 where you can effectively melee...). Even more, imagine a build like the Tukaw build with all of that hotness...
Am I wrong here? Someone please clarify it for me if so. Thanks...
