Subject: Re: Damage calculation formulae


There's something else besides this going on in damage calculation. I
started a dwarf cleric and twinked him with all of Windsong's backup armor
plus a Midnight Mallet that I'd picked up from a troll. This is a magic
2hand blunt weapon with damage 14 delay 44. So it should do up to 29
damage per (slow) hit. The dwarf frequently hits for 18, and (if I
remember right) occasionally for 19, but I've never seen it hit for 20 or
more.

I'm getting about ready to ditch the Mallet for a faster weapon, just
because it's not doing as much damage as it should.

The dwarf has strength over 100 and 2H blunt skill over 50 now, by the way.

J. M., if you're reading this, I'd love it if you would explain what's
happening here...
