<p>If I Spellstrike with a slashing weapon and Gouging Claw and an enemy has Resist Slashing 5, Do I subtract the 5 from my damage once or twice?</p>
<p>If my weapon has the Flaming Rune (1d6 fire damage) and I Spellstrike with Produce Flame against an enemy with Weakness Fire 5, do I proc the extra 5 damage once or twice?</p>Does the Magus's Spellstrike combine strike damage with spell damage?
