G'day Steve,

Just confirming the rules for determing damage with Martial Strike in Heroic campaigns.

Total Damage = Weapon Damage + 1DC (for M. Strike) + 1DC / 5STR over min + 1DC / 2 extra DCs purchased ?

So, a great sword wielded by a STR 24 Conan would inflict 2d6 + 1DC + 1DC == 2 1/2 d6 (from memory, I don't have my DC chart on me), assuming that he purchased no extra DCs.

I ask because even though this is fairly clearly laid out in 5ER on page 405, I seem to remember reading some sort of exception to the rule earlier on in the combat section.

thanks,
jml

That looks correct to me.
