Damage Question

[The Man]

I should know this but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. I think I'm over analyzing it.

 

A superheroic campaign features a character who uses a mace in combat. He has a 25 Strength, a 5d6 Hand Attack (the mace), and the Weapons Combat martial arts with the Attack maneuver (which adds 2d6 to the weapon damage).

 

Does the the character do 12d6 with his attack using the martial arts manuever or does the doubling rule come into effect somewhere here and limit the attack to 10d6?

 

Thank you in advance.

HA counts as "base damage" for purposes of the doubling damage rule (STR Min rules still apply in a Heroic campaign, but that's not a factor here according to the facts you presented). So, the character in this example does 12d6 Normal Damage.
