From a typo :-), it should be PC/3. so it becomes:
DF - Racial Norm + PC / 3 + Armour + Combat Skill Bonus  =
          2      +    6.6   + (12+2) + 2                   = 24

Each weapon has its own base bonus which varies with different uses and different
terrains. eg a lance has a 150% bonus when the user is charging and it can only be
used when mounted. Some weapons also reduce the chance that you characters or
soldiers will break and run from battle. The bonuses are all listed in the Legends
Combat and Arcane Arts manual.

The sword example I gave was a power 4 mithril sword, the mithril sword has a base
bonus of 80% but it can be enchanted as a power weapon. The enchantments give the
following extra bonuses:
	Enchant Glimmer:    25%
	Power 1:            50%
	Power 2:           100%
	Power 3:           200%
	Power 4:           300% etc. etc.

Enchanting the weapon also increases its DAMage rating. Arcane users can learn a
series of skills that let them enchant a weapon to some custom setup say:
	Power 4 with +100% when used against followers of Nagashun
but it takes a lot of arcane power and the use of special resources to do. Hope
this has clarified the situation a little.
