So if you were attacking with a Melee weapon and have a negative modifier to strength (lets say as low as we could get, -5), then have a bonus to damage (such as through a maneuver, sneak attack, weapon enchant, or similar), do you apply the bonus damage together with the base weapon damage + strength, or after?
For instance, you have a character with a dagger and +1d6 bonus damage from some source, do you:
Minimum 1 (1d4 - 5 + 1d6)
or
Minimum 1 (1d4 - 5), then +1d6
Im not too sure if the rules take this into account or not given that characters will only very rarely have so little strength that there base weapon damage will be potentially drastically under the penalty. Common sense makes me think it would apply after, at least with certain effect like a flaming weapon, but again Im not too sure
