Re: Sword MA and question.
For every 5 str above the str min, yes.
Damage =
Weapon damage (+1d6n for every 5 str above str min) +
Maneuver damage +
Damage classes +
Skill levels if applied for damage (every two can add 1d6)
Er, I think that's it. Why don't you post a character for us to look at and we can perhaps offer advice and options?
