Craft items question - SW Edge of Empire

By michelmelem, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hi, I can't understand the "damage column" at melee weapons crafting. What does it mean? I take the normal weapon damage and sum it, so that the crafted item will always have a base damage superior to a normal one or is it a inicial damage, that I can increase with the advantages I take in the mechanic test (but in this case I can't reach some weapon's damage, because the increasing damage is limited to 1)?

Thank you

When you craft the weapon, you are crafting a unique item with stats completely disconnected from any existing weapons. The damage stat it gives is the damage stat for that weapon, the "+" simply means that it is added on to the wielder's Brawn rating.
