Move-throughs with weapons

[KnightShade]

I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that you can do a move through with a weapon, I just can't find it anywhere. If someone could clear this up for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. The main question I had was (if they are allowed), how the damage is figured with an HKA. Say you have 50STR and a 2d6 HKA, the max damage you should be able to do it 4d6 KA, but does that increase with the momentum from a move through? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

pg. 259 5th ed. last paragraph before SET

 

I'm not sure if I can directly quote the book so here is a paraphrasing.

 

If you are using a weapon/killing attack with a move through, you divide the characters strengrh by two to determine damage. It isn't explicit but it seems that you lose Str adds, since momentum ia powering the weapon instead of muscle, and replace it with Velocity bonus. This doesn't exempt the 2x maxima for Weapon/attack damage from modifiers. So it's still 4d6 HKA Max.

 

pg 270-271,

 

paraphrasing again , No matter the modifiers, add ons from velocity etc, can you more than double the base damage from a attack. The exception being normal damage weapons, in super campaigns, and unarmed martial art damage classes.

 

 

Nothing in the 5th ed. errata contradicts this.
