Does base damage include passive qualities?

Does base damage include passive qualities?

I would say no, if only to keep things relatively balanced.

For instance, there's a lightsaber crystal that offers the Burn quality (Barab Ingot I thnk?), so if you allowed passive qualities, that means Burn triggered from that lightsaber would also benefit from the Breach 1 quality as well, making said Burn damage frighteningly effective on top of the substantial damage a lightsaber can do in the first place.
