Martial Arts and Weapon Multipower Pools

[dsatow]

Say I have a character with a Multipower pool supersword and Martial Arts.

 

The Multipower super sword has three slots.

1) A straight HtHKA representing a slash.

2) An AP HtHKA representing a thrust.

3) An AoE Radius Selective HtHKA representing taking on multiple opponents.

 

Q1) Does the martial maneuvers apply to all slots or just one?

Q2) In slot 3, does the martial maneuver (say fast strike) apply to all targets?

Assuming the character’s able to add Martial Maneuver damage to sword strikes, he could add it to any of the three slots described here (and in the case of, say, Area Of Effect or Autofire, the increase in damage applies to all targets). However, as noted in the rules for adding damage to Advantages attacks (6E2 100, 102), the Advantaged slots will derive less additional damage from the Maneuvers than the first, un-Advantaged, slot.
