How does the +1 damage work? Do you have to be empty when initiating an attack or when the damage is applied?

The damage is only applied in Step 7 of the Combat skill test (RR, pp 26-27). That is when the Fire Axe will check to see if you have no resources. If you do, bonus damage! That happens before damage is applied.

So, yes, if you spend all your money with a Fire Axe, you will do +1 damage at the end even if you started your attack with up to 3 resources.

For me, the best weapon in the game thus far.
