A player asked me about this and I wasn't sure how to answer. He wants to know whether the stunt (Off-Hand Weapon Training) stacks with the power (Inhuman Strength) when determining attack stress.
Let's say you're dual-wielding swords (Weapon:2). With Inhuman Strength, your attack becomes +4 Stress on a hit with a single sword. With the stunt, you add half of the off-hand weapon's rating to the attack. Does the off-hand weapon also get the Inhuman Strength bonus? Does that attack get a +5 Stress bonus or a +7 Stress bonus?

It would be +5. Off-Hand Weapon Training doesn't act like making two attacks; it just makes your one attack better by a specific amount. Doubling the bonus from Inhuman Strength would be overpowered and wrong.

I figure this is actually answered in the stunt.
with this stunt, you may add half of the second weapon’s
bonus as well
It says second weapon's bonus, not total damage bonus (or similar). So he add's only what the weapon gives him. No strength bonus.

This. The weapon rating is 2, no matter how strong you are.
