Re: Forgtting combat power
Generally, whether a mistake should be repaired relies on how easy it would be to do. If some time has gone by since the mistake was noticed, it's usually best to chalk it up to malevolent fate and just continue with the game.
To your second question, while a player isn't obligated to remind someone else of their bonuses, it's sporting to do so. In most games, I would look very darkly on someone who intentionally withheld the fact that an opponent was winning and let them think they had lost. That includes mentioning that someone's math is wrong if they miscalculate and it includes saying "Did you count your +4 against Undead?" if they haven't mentioned it. Again, it's not an obligation, but it says something about your character if you're willing to let someone lose a fight (or a game) because they forgot a bonus in the heat of the moment.
Tournaments are a bit of a different story, but we don't discuss tournament play in the 101 forum.
