Leader Skill: Inspire bonuses too high?

Greetings all. Here's a quick question I hope you can answer!
Is the Leader: Inspire bonus too high? At +5 to hit and damage per Leader level, you're talking about +30 to hit and +30 damage at Rank 6. I can see the attack bonus, but the damage bonus seems really high. Your thoughts?

Trust me, at LEVEL 6, it is well deserved. And if he is at level 6, the rest of the party is at level 5 or 6, in which +30 is a drop in the bucket. You're talking about generals commanding armies at that point, and if he is commanding an army, so is the other army's general.
Besides, it will only be to those that are "adjacent". ("In the square immediately next to".)
This is BareBones Fantasy, a d100 variant (d00), not d20. There are only 6 levels. (They are LEVELS, not RANKS. Ranks in this game are a completely different creature, more comparable to CR in d20.) Also, a +5 bonus in this game is like a +1 bonus in d20. So in d20, that would be a +6 to hit and +20 damage. Not exactly felling giants.

Thanks for the explanation. It is quite jarring to see those numbers when you're coming from other systems.
