Non-Combat Stretching DC's

[MicroMike]

If I have 6" of Stretching, I can add 2 DC's damage.
If I stretch non-combat for 12", can I get 4 DC's (at OCV 0)?

[Steve Long]

Let me rephrase the question a little more generally to clarify the issue:

Q: Can a character with Stretching use his Noncombat inches of Stretching to calculate velocity damage?

A: Yes, but all relevant rules for using Noncombat movement apply, including the fact that his OCV is reduced to 0 and his DCV is halved.
