HA and STR (yet another question)

[Eodin]

Steve,

Suppose that instead of "Ye Spelle of Pounding" being defined as +1d6HA NND, it's defined as +5 STR, NND[1], UBO at Range. Tristam the mage casts it on Corsair the Barbarian, STR 20. Corsair punches an Orc thief.

Does the punch do 4d6N only, or 4d6N +1d6NND, or 3d6NND? I would assume the third option, but I wanted to make sure based on 5E273 and the note on Advantaged Strength.

It does 4d6 Normal Damage, or 2d6 NND if he chooses to limit himself to using only 5 STR.
