There are other bugs in the way exp is divied.
The senario, a group of 4 20s plus killing broon
Broon half dead
a 19 bard and 19 monk attacks to help finish him
the bard and monk got the kill
Luckily the group of 4 were friends, but they were still mad.
When we went back and looked at the fight script. It turns out
together we did 42 damage - hehe I was only punching as a Bard. Then
did more than 1000 and he was half when we started.
Verant need to look at their code 8)
