Improved martial art (required 0 - No prereq) (3 ranks - 1 AP): (Passive) +0.5[W] to attacks you make while centered

My Unarmed attacks are 1d6*4.500000 before taking ranks in IMA. After taking 3 ranks in it to increase my damage +1.5(W) it should be 1d6*6.000000, but it stays at 1d6*4.500000. is there a stacking issue? I would think that ED traits would improve the abilities I already have, yes?

I posted another thread about this (just not in this forum). I suspect it may be by design to allow non-Monks (those splashed or not at all) to up their damage dice to approach what a level 20 Monk would already have working for them. This isn't completely horrible as it allows a Capstone'd monk to drop Destiny Points in the stance enhancement lines (which a splash would have much weaker/lower and a non-monk would completely lack).

There is also a similar lack of synergy with Enlightenment, which also may be by design, but we await Dev response on that as well.

I can almost understand that, but I would also think that Epic Destinies should stack, to improve the stats you have if you are the type of class it was designed for, or to give other classes a chance to to catch up to heroic levels of another class.

It's currently increasing the damage of weapon attacks made while centered, but is not providing any feedback in the combat pane of your character sheet. It's not currently working with unarmed/handwraps. Our engineering team is on the task. Thanks for the reports.

Thank you. So does this mean it is working...I am getting the Damage boost. Its just not showing up on my inventory combat panel?

From what I understand it's not working correctly for unarmed combat at all, but it's working for monks who use weapons. It's just not showing up on the inventory screen.
