----

You put additional effort into your swing, taxing yourself in order to inflict the most damage possible.  When you [[nexusframe:actions:Strike]] or [[nexusframe:actions:Pummel]] a foe, you may spend one [[nexusframe:characters:statistics#Stamina]] before rolling the attack.  If you do so, and score a **success** or better, increase your damage multiplier by one.

**Example**:  Ragnar swings his axe at a Bugbear, and spends a Stamina to trigger Power Strike.  He rolls a 22 total, giving him a **success**.  His two-handed Dane Axe has a damage value of 9, so a success would normally inflict 27 damage (9×3).  But because he triggered his Power Strike, he instead inflicts 36 damage (9×4).
