While it might be unclear from the rules, I would recommend caution in stacking too many bonuses. The range of possible die roll results in TFT are very sensitive to modifiers, much more than D&D and other RPGs. Excluding the occasional powerful monster, most of your common opponents won't have ST higher than 15 so a weapon with +7 to damage would be extremely powerful, certainly more powerful than I would want in my campaign.
