Striking Rune & Property Runes

A Dagger 1d4 piecing

Striking Says:
A striking rune stores destructive magic in the weapon,
increasing the weapon damage dice it deals to two instead of
one. For instance, a +1 striking dagger would deal 2d4 damage
instead of 1d4 damage.

If I put say flaming property rune on the dagger:
This weapon is empowered by flickering flame. The weapon
deals an additional 1d6 fire damage on a successful Strike,
plus 1d10 persistent fire damage on a critical hit.

So does the dagger do:
2d4 piercing & 1d6 Fire
OR
2d4 piercing & 2d6 fire?

I would think first one as Striking says: "..increasing the WEAPON damage"

2d4+STR +1d6 is the answer.

Striking runes effect the "weapon" damage die as you noted. The fire damage die, or any die from a weapon trait like Fatal/deadly etc.. or other ability are not enhanced.

Hi!
How do I resolve a striking rune critical weapon damage? should I roll 4 dices? Thanks!

[The Raven Black]

Critical multiplies total normal damage (including Striking dice) by 2 and then adds damage that only occurs on a critical (such as Deadly).

Rules for Doubling Damage.

Also please just make a new thread if you have questions like this, instead of necroing years old threads that are unrelated.
