Damage Bonus in Critical Strike doesn't work?

I'm trying to make a passive that gives my hero critical strike and also added damage to his normal attacks.

Now, in Critical Strike, there's this field called Damage Bonus. I assume that it does what it says, giving bonus to damage.

But apparently it doesn't work.

I tried entering the number 5 at level 1, and thought that it would give my hero a bonus of 5 to his damage. But it doesn't.

Anyone care to explain?

how do you know it didnt? because the red # that showd up was just critcal strike not critical strike +5? I bet it will only show the critical strike in red, but really be adding the extra damage, though I dunno

Ok, I tried it with 1000 damage bonus, and yes it works, it just doesn't show.

But the thing is, the damage bonus only kicks in when Critical Strike does, or vice versa depends on how you look at it. In other words, the damage bonus and the damage multiplier are tied together, both sharing the same percentage chance.

So I have a problem, because I'm trying to make the skill gives a constant damage bonus for every attack, and at the same time has a percentage chance for Critical Strike.

I could use triggers to tie another skill to the hero so that he gains the bonus to his attack, but I have no more space for another skill icon.

And to complicate matters, I want the damage bonus to show up in the hero's stats panel, like 37-47 + 10 for example.

Any solutions?

Edit the "Attack damage bonus(10)" ability(it's an item ability and i don't know the exact name), just change to Unit ability and give it the hero when he learn CS, the abilities that are only there as items don't have icons!

Hmmm, that works. Thanks. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make the ability level up, which shouldn't be too hard. Here's some rep for you.

All you have to do for when it is leveling up, is make a different damage ability for each level of the critical strike, and remove the previous level's damage ability from the hero, and add the next one.
