But even if your could (say, Lucky Blow), adding damage to a non-damage-dealing strike doesn't do anything. The strike still doesn't do damage.

[ quoted text not captured ] Sorry, i meant can you play scorpion's touch and rowan ring together?

LSJ

[ quoted text not captured ] Yes. See above. Card text: Strike: hand strike or use a melee weapon strike.

To clarify: Q: Can you use Scorpion Sting and Rowan Ring together? A: No, because Scorpion Sting's card text says "Strike: hand strike...", so it can't be combined with a weapon strike. Q: Can you use Lucky Blow and Rowan Ring together? A: Yes, because Lucky Blow's card text says "Strike: ... {use a} melee weapon strike ..." so you can combine it with a Rowan Ring. Q: What happens when you use Lucky Blow and Rowan Ring together? A: Lucky Blow tries to add damage to a non-damage dealing strike, and so this additional damage is just lost. See also: Reverend Blackwood trying to add damage to a Theft of Vitae strike. (The damage there is also lost.) -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.
