Some melee damage questions

I'm really not used to these new rules for melee weapon... 1) If Thetmes strikes with a Bastard Sword, is the damage aggravated? (I'd guess no since it's not a hand strike) 2) If a Husamettin strikes with Contract and has a Bastard Sword, does the Sword ciunt for damage? The strike says +3 hand damage, so I guess not? 3) Husamettin has Depravity, and a Bastard Sword that he strikes with, does he do extra damage with Depravity? What if it was Parnassus striking? 4)He plays Torn Sign Post and then uses a Bastard Sword, does he do 2+1 damage? 5) Same as all questions above, but instead of using a Bastard Sword he has a Bang Nakh? 6) Shouldn't Depravity actually say +1 strength and not hand damage, what about the inherent +1 hand damage that Parnassus have? Should it be read as "+1 strength"? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Thetmes' hand damage is aggravated. Hand damage is only damage from a hand strike - damage from a weapon strike is not "hand damage". > 2) If a Husamettin strikes with [K: Honor] and has a Bastard Sword, does > the Sword ciunt for damage? The strike says +3 hand damage, so I guess > not? You guess correctly. Striking with Khabar: Honor is different than striking with a weapon. > 3) Husamettin has Depravity, and a Bastard Sword that he strikes with, > does he do extra damage with Depravity? What if it was Parnassus > striking? Yes. Bastard Sword deals damage based on the striking minion's strength. (See on-line card texts for the above cards). > 4)He plays Torn Sign Post and then uses a Bastard Sword, does he do 2+1 > damage?

You probably talk about khabar: the honor, IMO the Bastard sword can't count in the strike damage, cause you can't use a weapon with k:th (not specified on the the card, as on potence strikes) > 3) Husamettin has Depravity, and a Bastard Sword that he strikes with, > does he do extra damage with Depravity?
