I'm making a custom Flame Tongue as a + 2 and I'm running into some issues. I'm trying to add +2 to damage and +2 to the hit modifier so I've added the following below. The problem I'm having is, when attuned, the +2 melee weapon attack bonus is applying to all attacks and the +2 damage-Slashing is not showing in the "damage" section and instead, appending to the notes section.
I'm pretty sure I'm using the wrong Bonus hit modifier but I can't seem to figure out the correct one. As for the damage slashing bonus, maybe that's working as intended but if there's a way to add the +2 to the "damage" section itself, I'd much rather that. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if this specific question has been asked before, I apologize.
The modifier you're looking for is "Bonus" for Type and "Magic" for Subtype, which admittedly is very poorly named for what it actually does. This modifier adds the value you supply to both attack rolls and damage rolls with (only) the weapon itself.
The "Melee Weapon Attacks" subtype is more meant for something along the lines of a pair of gloves that improves all melee weapon attacks when you're wearing them, rather than for a weapon itself.
