Weapon dice multiplier

With Update 14, upper tier weapons in game, that previously had irregular damage dices (such as old Green Steel weapons and old Alchemical weapons) are updated in order to standardize them among various weapon types. This mechanic, called Weapon Dice Multiplier or Base Damage Dice modifier, is applied to weapon dice roll. It is shown on the weapon description window in the format of #[W], where # is the multiplier and [W] is the base weapon damage.
 * For example, "1.5[1d8]" would mean 1d8 is weapon specific dice to roll for base damage, and 1.5 is what is considered as the multiplier (1.5-1=0.5 is what is considered modifier).
 * If the weapon's base damage is multiple dice, such as a Falchion's [2d4], a Great Sword's [2d6] or a Great Crossbow's [2d8], then any modifier multiplies all dice within the brackets. So a +1[W] modifier to [2d8] makes that 2[2d8], etc. (Note that this is not the same as "4d8" - 2d8 are rolled as base weapon damage, and that is then multiplied by the preceding value. See Developer quote, below)

Weapon dice multiplier is applied to weapon damage before enhancement bonus and before critical hit multiplier. Spell buffs such as Deadly Weapons, and feats such as Point Blank Shot may have an impact on this value.

Randomly generated weapons
With Update 29, randomly generated weapons gain additional [W] depending on their minimum level:
 * Min Level 10 = 1.5[W]
 * Min Level 20 = 2.0[W]
 * Min Level 24 = 3.0[W]
 * Min Level 28 = 4.0[W]
