Here's a brief description of how PC damage works for those interested. There's a ton of in depth parses and other resources at evilgamer.net regarding both PC damage and NPC damage, which pretty accurately describe the formulas behind it.

PC base damage is calculated about the same way as NPC, but our DB isn't static, it's a variable. a simple, unmodified PC damage formula is thus:
(weapon damage/10*(1-20)*(1.0-3.55)) + DB = how much you hit for. the 1-3.55 is is apparently the PC equivalent of DB, and then our DI is modified by weapon damage.

the 3.55 varies with level and class
