The +20% bonus is an additive multiplier and only ever contributes +2.2 - 3.2 bonus damage
The flat extra 1d2+1 was multiplied by every modifier, so depending on how much bonus damage you had, it would contribute a different amount of flat bonus damage. As Hyperion said, it now no longer scales with bonus damage.
I haven't played the game since April 2015 but I recall back then it wasn't difficult to get over +100% damage by the midgame on some characters, I'm really not sure how high you can get it, but the damage loss per hit is probably more like 3-6 before DR in the lategame (just a guess).
I wonder what that art is supposed to represent? The head-dress reminds me of the Azurite knights from Dungeon Siege 3. Although those also had a frog helm to go with it.
Welcome to the Pillars of Eternity 3.04 Beta Feedback Contest! In this Beta, we are looking for the best and more informative feedback from you guys. The 3 users that provide the best feedback will win an Obsidian Entertainment Swag Bag! (items TBD)
Where to send us this information:
After you felt you spend a good amount of time testing out the beta, feel free to leave your feedback in the comment section below.
Below we will have some guidelines on what kind of feedback we are looking for.
What we are looking for:
Feedback:
The primary goal of this feedback challenge is to hear from you guys. We'd love to get feedback from you all and want to make sure that 3.04 update is amazing. We will do our best to take all feedback into consideration.
We'd love for you all to test out the fixes and changes we've made in the beta and let us know what still needs fixing and tweaking. Below are a few examples of what we are looking to hear from you guys.
· Druid Spell: Infestation of Maggots. In the past, the spell was not working properly as a result of a bug. We have corrected the issue and Infestation of Maggots now correctly deals damage based off % Endurance.
· We found that Sabre's base damage was a little too high. Sabre base damage will drop to 11-16, and will have a +20% damage mod. They should still take the 'top damage' slot but this change should lower them enough to encourage other options. How does this change feel? Does this change stop you from using Sabres?
· We fixed a bug that was preventing Ranger ability Powder Burns from reaching its full potential. Powder Burns now applies DR. Try experimenting with that build and let us know how you like it. Do you still prefer Twinned Arrows over Powder Burns? (Stormcaller is OP, we know)

Found bugs during the beta? Let us know about it!

That should about do it. Of course, if you have any additional information to add, feel free to do so!
I believe that they're gearing up for a PoE 2 Figstarter announcement. They're waking up the core fans with that patch and will announce the Figstarter soon after, when the game is still fresh on the fans' mind.
We should divide into groups. Every group could test one part with various characters. If everybody will play from the beginning, we can't test all of it. The patch is huge.

The Last Backer Reward, a Beta, and a Survey Update by Justin Britch, Lead Producer
The House of Wael
For any backer that gets the novella as part of their rewards (if you pledged $50 or more) it is now available on Steam and through the Backer Portal's Products page. With this final reward in place, the full Pillars of Eternity experience is available to our backers.
The House of Wael is a multilayered narrative that tells the story of a young boy's encounter with a strange house that might just be the work of Wael, god of mysteries. Taken in by its stern caretaker, the boy is introduced to a building where rugs grow food, where stairs are as likely to end in a pit as a floor, and where the gods' deepest secrets line the halls like artwork in a museum.
Yet for all of its puzzles, the most challenging may be the one the boy needs most desperately to solve: discovering the way out.
We really appreciate the ride you have taken with us over the years. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to achieve so much with Pillars.

Figin’ it Forward: Wasteland 3
InXile is back with a sequel to their first crowdfunded game, Wasteland 2. Wasteland 3 is a party-based role-playing game that will take place in the lands of frozen Colorado, where survival is difficult and a happy outcome is never guaranteed. Players will face difficult moral choices and make sacrifices that will change the game world. Wasteland 3 is introducing vehicles, story-driven multiplayer, a revamped dialog system, and your own base of operations.Check it out here.
That’s everything for this update. Thanks everyone!
Well this is quite the dilemma. As of yesterday, I'm done with Witcher 3 and have nothing to do until at least November when my Wasteland 3 pledge goes through and I get my Underrail key. And yet there's 3.04 in the distance. To play a somewhat-flawed experience now or resume my natural state of
Some high grade autism.
