Ruthless Ruffian Question

[AnthonyRoberson]

Does the STR bonus stack with other bonuses when using powers with the Rattling keyword? For instance, does Disheartening Strike do 1[W] + DEX mod + STR mod for Ruthless Ruffians?

Yes, but only if you attack with a mace or club.

Specificly, the Ruthless Ruffian bonus is an untyped bonus, and therefore stacks with all bonuses, including other untyped bonuses.

So, if you have a power that deals 1[W]+Dex mod+Str mod damage, and has the Rattling Keyword, in fact you DO get to deal 1[W]+Dex+2(Str).

Yes, but only if you attack with a mace or club.

Cool. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure. The authors could have worded the class feature a little more clearly though...

It -is- clear. If you do X, you get to add damage.

That's pretty simple and straight forward!
