	:1d16 is definitely not the same as 2d8 (e.g. you can't roll a 1 with the latter). I think the intention of the "2x(1d8)" is to show that the double damage applies to grayswandir's base damage but not its silver damage. It actually applies to its enchantment damage too, so this notation is not entirely clear. I added a section on damage calculation. --[[User:Jayt\|Jayt]] 10:37, 21 September 2006 (UTC)		:1d16 is definitely not the same as 2d8 (e.g. you can't roll a 1 with the latter).
