Alternative Characteristic to add Damage

[Christopher]

APG II 29, und Killing Attack notes the option to let other characteristics than STR add to the damage. Now I have two questions:

1. If a characteristic other than STR is used, does this "use" to add Damage cost endurance? Or is that extra Damage 0 END.

 

2. If DEX is used, should the total score be used or the invested Character Points?

i.e. with 20 DEX, should it be +4 DC (Characteristics Value; 20/5) or +8 DC (Total Points Invested; 40/5)

Re: Alternative Characteristic to add Damage

 

1. The alternate Characteristic used costs END at the standard rate of 1 END per 10 points used.

 

2. For the optional rule on APG2 29 for adding damage to HKAs with Characteristics other than STR, if a character uses a Characteristic that has a cost different than 1 Character Point per Point, use the value of the Characteristic (not the Character Points spent on it) to determine how much damage it adds. (To put it another way, treat it as if it, like STR, had a 1:1 cost.)
