Grab question

[Zed-F]

Most normal combat maneuvers can be performed with most attack powers. For instance, supposing I have a character with sharp pincer claws (2D6 HKA), I can strike with them, perform a Move-Through with them, etc.

If Pincer-boy performed a Move-Through at 15" movement with his claws, he could add +3 DC (or +1D6) from velocity damage. Could he then exert his STR to top up the damage to 4D6 HKA? Would exerting his STR in this case cost 1 END (from exerting at 15 STR) or 3 END (full STR cost)?

Does this also apply to Squeeze damage from a Grab attack? Supposing Pincer-boy has 30 STR with which to boost his HKA, could he attempt to Grab and Squeeze for a 4D6 Killing damage?

The rules for adding damage via various methods (STR, velocity, Maneuvers, and so on) are on 5E 270-72. You can certainly combine two or more methods (unless the GM forbids this), subject to the usual restrictions.

If a character uses some or all of his STR, he pays END for however much STR he chooses to use.
