Question about a Magus's damage


Rules Questions


L5/L1 Magus/Bard using spell strike and Shocking Grasp with his scimitar.

Battle Dance +2 Hit, +2 Damage 4+Cha Bonus in Rds

Scimitar 1d6 damage Crit 18-20/x2
2 battle dance = 1d6+02 Damage
Shocking grasp = 5d6

So does the battle dance from dervish dawnflower add to both the scimitar damage and the shocking grasp damage?

Assuming you're talking about inspire courage, it says "... and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls." (doubled for battle dance)

Shocking Grasp is not a weapon damage roll, so the damage bonus from inspire courage will not apply. I would apply to a ray, because a ray is a weapon, but not shocking grasp.
