Decapitating blow

[Dannathar]

The Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne has the rule for roll a 6 or more to hit do mortal wound instead of normal damage.

What if his command trait is "immense power" adding one to dmg of the weapon.

If I read it correctly, do you then do 2 damage and then if you roll a 6 or more you do only one MW not 2?

Weapon damage characteristic is separate from the MW damage. So no interaction between the trait and ability here imo.

You do 2 normal wounds, if you roll a 6+ you do a single mortal wound instead.

I just looked at the FAQ and have one more thing to add. the command trait Devastating blow which was until FAQ worded identical to Decapitating blow has been changed to mortal wounds = to damage. Why change one of 2 identical abilities? Further if I take devastating blow do both abilities work on a roll of a 6+ on the same swing?

To distinguish them? What's the point of two identical abilities? They changed one so no one can confuse them with each other.

No they don't - they're both absolute substitutions. They both replace your normal damage (although you get to pick which).

I say change one so they are both different? Seems sensible enough to me  

and yes on the +1 damage on the regular hits and only 1 MW on the 6’s
