Martial arts killing strike with weapon element


Shillelagh

Question

Can you use the Killing Strike martial arts maneuver with a weapon element that does not normally do killing damage (such as a club)?

 

If the club in question does 3d6 damage, would that translate to 3 DCs (1d6) of killing damage for purposes of the Killing Strike damage?  Or am I completely off base here?

 

My STR 30 Killing Strike calculates out to 2 1/2d6 damage.  If using the 3d6 club weapon element, would it be 3 1/2d6?  I apologize if this was covered somewhere in the rules.  I just haven't been able to find a concise answer.

I can't find the reference offhand, but in either an answer here and/or one of the books, it was stated that the answer to your question is No. If a character wants to add damage from a Martial Maneuver, it has to be an N-DMG maneuver.

 

If I find the reference I'll come back and edit this answer. The type of damage the weapon does (Normal or Killing) isn’t a factor; the DCs from the Maneuver add to it as specified in the Adding Damage rules.

 

Edit:  helpful fan provides reference:  6E2 99, bottom left.
