Remember not to rely on a subject line to give context to the body.

No.

Card text: Strike: hand strike at +1 damage.

But even if your could (say, Lucky Blow), adding damage to a non-damage-dealing
strike doesn't do anything. The strike still doesn't do damage.

Yes. See above.

Card text: Strike: hand strike or use a melee weapon strike.

That "yes" is a bit confusing. To clarify:

Q: Can you use Scorpion Sting and Rowan Ring together?
A: No, because Scorpion Sting's card text says "Strike: hand strike...",
so it can't be combined with a weapon strike.

Q: Can you use Lucky Blow and Rowan Ring together?
A: Yes, because Lucky Blow's card text says "Strike: ... {use a} melee
weapon strike ..." so you can combine it with a Rowan Ring.

Q: What happens when you use Lucky Blow and Rowan Ring together?
A: Lucky Blow tries to add damage to a non-damage dealing strike, and so
this additional damage is just lost. See also: Reverend Blackwood
trying to add damage to a Theft of Vitae strike. (The damage there
is also lost.)

Oh, bother. Scorpion STING in the subject, Scorpion TOUCH in the body.
Fun.
