Does Blast need the target to take damage, and do attack bonuses add to it?
Several experienced players agree; no official ruling.

Blast, like Cleave and condition keywords, only triggers if the target of the attack suffers at least 1 damage, so a miss or full block stops it. Bonus damage on the attack does not raise Blast; only additional Blast does, and Blast values from different sources add together. Conditions the attack inflicts apply to the target only, never to the figures hit by Blast.
