STR Minimum and HTH Attack


jackalope

Question

I just realized I may have been doing HTH Attack weapons wrong for some time. Or I am entirely overthinking things.

 

I have a Hired Goon built with a STR 15 wielding a Club.  The club is a +4d6 HTH Attack with a STR Minimum of 10.  How much damage does my Hired Goon do with a Strike?

 

A )  He does 7d6 Normal Damage because his base STR damage is 3d6 plus the +4d6 from the HTH Attack.  The STR Minimum has no effect beyond determining whether he takes OCV/DCV penalties.

 

B )  He does 5d6 Normal Damage because after subtracting the club's STR Minimum 10, the Goon's effective STR is 5, for a base STR damage of 1d6 plus the +4d6 HTH Attack. 

 

C ) He does 8d6 Normal Damage because his base STR damage is 3d6 plus the +4d6 from the HTH Attack plus +1d6 because he is 5 STR over the minimum (6E2 199).

He does 5d6. When the STR Minimum rules are in use, STR only adds to a weapon's damage to the extent it exceeds the Minimum, basically.

 

In a Superheroic game the STR Minimum rules ordinarily aren't used, and so in this case the character would do 7d6. But if he imposes STR Minimum on his weapon as a Limitation, then he only does 5d6.
