Hey everyone. This week was a busy one for me, and just today I had the chance to check back on this post. I appreciate the feedback you have provided. Going into this I knew what I was proposing was "a truly insane question," because applying power attack in this way would result in a lot of broken things.
I do not anticipate that I will make any changes to how I am applying the bonus damage any time soon (not that my DM would allow it anyway ;P).
Derklord did provide a good reference to the rules that relates to the question.
Overall, I am willing to just chalk this up to the -for lack of better words- faults in the English language.
Now, looking again specifically at, "+2 bonus on all melee damage rolls," I have interpreted it as all rolls as a cohesive bunch, but it now seems to me that it could also be interpreted as +2 "per melee damage dice rolled"It could, if you hate English.
Having learned Spanish as a second language in my later years, I can understand the sentiment. After all, "English does not borrow from other languages. English follows other languages, knocks them down in a dark alley and then goes through their pockets for loose grammar."
