Okay, check it out.  STR was originally 4d12.  So, add 5 to that for Inner
Strength.  The GR for Inner Strength raises it another full die type, to
4d12+2 (+5).  That's 4d12+7, basically.

Now S-Mart's coup raises your STR another full die-type.  I killed him and
absorbed it, this 4d12+9 STR.  No, Inner Strength counts for everything,
including Damage rolls, but really, what the hell else do you use STR for,
except opposed STR rolls to Disarm?  So, for Evanor it's 4d12+9 STR, plus
3d12 damage.  If I get a bonus with florentine my other weapon hits too.
