Maximum damage

3.4.5.1 Do damage bonuses affect a weapon's maximum damage?
All-out-attacks and weapon quality do not increase a weapon's maximum damage. Maximum damage represents the largest wound the weapon can inflict; multiply the ST of a weapon by 3 to find the maximum ST you can apply for damage purpose. A sharper blade (read "fine", "very fine" or "super fine" weapon) or all-out-attack merely allows you to do this using less ST. Damage bonuses given by "cinematic" abilities like Weapon Master and Throwing Art are applied after the limit is.
For example, say a broadsword is wielded by a ST 40 ogre with broadsword at DX+2 and Weapon Master. The ST listed for Broadsword is 10, so the maximum ST that can be applied is 30. Swing damage for ST 30 is 5d+2, and broadsword damage is sw+1 cut, for a total of 5d+3. Being a Weapon Master, he gets a bonus of +10 damage. Total damage is thus 5d+13 (or 8d+2 if you use the optional Dice+Add rule of p. 269) cutting.
