Attack messages

From Discworld MUD Wiki

The following are the messages given by attack types during combat from the distribution mudlib.

This page contains formulae or data from the distribution mudlib. This information may be several years out of date, so needs to be verified as correct. You can help by performing research to validate it.

It appears that more powerful attack messages appear when damage represents a greater percentage of the victim's total health. This is most obvious when comparing fights against very weak opponents (frogs, chickens, etc.) versus tough ones. As such, the numbers included below from the distribution mudlib are unlikely to be directly representative of current code but have been kept in the hope that they might be useful.
