Is the bonus to damage on the second successful attack in the round +1 or +2?

Subsequent wounds from a weapon with the punishing fusion have greater effect. When you damage a creature with the weapon, you receive a +1 bonus to damage against that target with this weapon until the end of your turn. If you successfully damage the same creature with this weapon multiple times in the same round, the bonus increases by 1 on each additional attack. If you damage a creature with this weapon when it isn’t your turn, such as with an attack of opportunity, the bonus lasts until the end of your next turn after the attack.
Is the bonus to damage on the second successful attack in the round +1 or +2?
So, if I'm reading correctly, you attack successfully for the first time, you get a +1 on your 2nd attack. If you are attacking three times (e.g. operative's triple attack), then, you have the opportunity to get a +2 on that 3rd attack IF both previous attacks landed.
Same logic applies with a pair of successful attacks (normal full attack) and a subsequent successful Attack of Opportunity.
You wouldn't get the bonus on a subsequent AoO. The best you could hope for if you have three attacks in a full attack is:
AoO, +0
First attack +1
Second +2
Third +3
Or, on a more normal round:
First +0
Second +1
Third +2
You wouldn't get the bonus on a subsequent AoO. The best you could hope for if you have three attacks in a full attack is:
AoO, +0
First attack +1
Second +2
Third +3Or, on a more normal round:
First +0
Second +1
Third +2
Correct, I misread. The AoO can provide the pre-req for a subsequent bonus, but doesn't benefit itself.
