Sorry.

A +x +y means:

+x to the roll of AdB where A is # of dice and B is sides
+y is to add y points damage to the monster

Therefore, let's say you have a +1 +4 weapon which needs 12 to hit
on a 1d20.

Roll, 11.  But wait, the +x adjustment makes it 12!
Roll the damage, 2 points.  Wow, but the +y makes it 6 points.

Now you can figure it out.  Enchanting a pike is not better.
