Let me Kick this off with a question.

With Hand to Hand attacks (the Power) Can you add your Str to the damage that a HtH attack does?

And thanks Otter for the new board !

[Derrick Heyoka]

Nein!

[Luther]

Yes - you can add your Str to a Hand Attack.

[Derrick Heyoka]

Nein!

Uhhhh, I mean yes then. 

[Luther]

It is kind of wierd if advantages exist, however.  If you buy an advantage for an HA, the total attack has the advantage, but you can only use as much STR as the base DC in the HA - or ignore the advantage.  In other words if you had a 50 STR (which yields a 10d6 or 10 DC - stands for "Damage Class" - attack), and a 2d6 Armor Piercing Hand Attack, you could either use it as a 12d6 Normal Attack, or a 4d6 Armor Piercing Attack - but not both.

[Lorddundar]

Ok Makes perfect sense to me. Keeps the AP, or other attacks limited compared to a HtH attack with Str. That way you don't get a 12d6 HKA instead you get a more reasonable 4d6 HKA.

But if I have a HtH attack 4d6 with a compound power Drain 4d6 attack, the HtH gets raised by my str to 14d6 and the drain stays at 4d6 right?

[Luther]

Yup.
