maybe i put in too much, but i wanted you to see the turn before mine, to assure there were no buffs to the rogue.  In theory, with the samurai getting the plus 2 damage to attacks, there should have been 5 damage done. (same number of hp of the rogue). Now i may have been confused, but is that to a max of 3 damage, at which point, the passive ability is only to ensure that if you roll one above def you do 3 damage regardless? just hoping someone can clarify that. i have the whole game log, if you'd like it. let me know.

thanks

Turkish, no need to worry- this is not a bug.  One of the game rules is that total damage may never exceed the strength of the attacker.

See: https://heromages.com/gameInfo/howToPlay/gameMechanics.html
Read the attack section and notice the Note at the bottom of this section

Always happy to help

thank you for clearing that up for me Ross. there is still much to learn, i suppose.

Yea, however you give the sami buffs (up to 7 STR) he can do up to 7 damage. This is why disentigrate (6dice +2) will never do more than 6 (unless used by a sorc).
