Power Strike

Pool: Combat
Tier: Initiate
Usage: Maneuver
Requires: Body +2

You put additional effort into your swing, taxing yourself in order to inflict the most damage possible. When you Strike or Pummel a foe, you may spend one 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).
