Some melee damage questions
cantila
1) If Thetmes strikes with a Bastard Sword, is the damage aggravated?
(I'd guess no since it's not a hand strike)
2) If a Husamettin strikes with Contract and has a Bastard Sword, does
the Sword ciunt for damage? The strike says +3 hand damage, so I guess
not?
3) Husamettin has Depravity, and a Bastard Sword that he strikes with,
does he do extra damage with Depravity? What if it was Parnassus
striking?
4)He plays Torn Sign Post and then uses a Bastard Sword, does he do 2+1
damage?
5) Same as all questions above, but instead of using a Bastard Sword he
has a Bang Nakh?
6) Shouldn't Depravity actually say +1 strength and not hand damage,
what about the inherent +1 hand damage that Parnassus have? Should it
be read as "+1 strength"?

You guess correctly. Thetmes' hand damage is aggravated. Hand damage
is only damage from a hand strike - damage from a weapon strike is
not "hand damage".

You guess correctly. Striking with Khabar: Honor is different than striking
with a weapon.

Yes. Bastard Sword deals damage based on the striking minion's strength.
(See on-line card texts for the above cards).

Yes.

Bang Nakh deals damage based on the striking minion's strength.
> 6) Shouldn't Depravity actually say +1 strength and not hand damage,
Yes, see the on-line text.

Yes, see the on-line text.

I agree

You probably talk about khabar: the honor, IMO the Bastard sword
can't count in the strike damage, cause you can't use a weapon with k:th
(not specified on the the card, as on potence strikes)
