I just read the 5th ed CSM FAQ and they ruled that a demonweapon can boost a lords number of attacks past 10 because it is only a temporary bonus. With that ruling in mind, can my Ork warboss with a powerclaw get strength 11 on the turn he charges due to furious charge? If not, why not?

If you say that the +1 Strength bonus is applied to his basic Strength of 5, making it 6, and then he gets the double Strength bonus, that would cap it at 10, because the PowerKlaw is not a temporary bonus.

If you say the Strength is doubled, then you add the Furious Charge bonus, then it would be 11.

Because the chart only goes to 10, and also because it specificly states in 5th ed that ATTACKS can go over ten temporarily. It does not state so for any other statistic.

You got a page that we can reference in the 5th ed book? I don't see it on page 6.

There is a specific rule in the book that states that you must apply a multiplication modifier before any addition multipliers. The example that they use is a marine with a PF and furious charge str (4*2)+1=9.

that is on page seven in the box on the right. Page 6 has the clarification that you can never modify any stat over 10, so the Chaos FAQ would be an exception to that rule.

I think you are right. I stand corrected.
