So, I'm seeing that phantom limb damage again: you know, the type which you get from randomly fighting a knight. Its a restoration arm break, sometimes left, sometimes right.

Here's a snippet:

You have recovered equilibrium.
4220h, 3740m, 3740e, 10p, 19820en, 17600w elrxk-
You are:
suffering from a broken chest.

Fringe of the Vernal Forest.
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. The footpath leading in from the west
becomes less and less clear as it transitions into the lush green floor of the
Vernal Forest. The trees along the edge of the woods are not very numerous, but
a glance to the northeast tells of a sudden change in that. Squire Darrius, of
the Armies of Light is here. He wields a heavy mace resembling taurian horns in
each hand.
You see exits leading northeast and west.
4220h, 3740m, 3740e, 10p, 19830en, 17600w elrxk-

Bashing is a series of advanced swinging maneuvers for bludgeoning weapons
(clubs, maces, etc.). Each maneuver has a chance of hitting the body parts they
target, the first one listed having the greater chance of being hit than the
others. Note that left and right always refers to your opponent's left or right
side. These count as a swing. You may also optionally add LEFT HAND or RIGHT
HAND at the end of any maneuver's syntax to choose which hand's weapon you will
strike with.

has a partially damaged right arm.
4220h, 3695m, 3740e, 10p, 20000en, 17600w lrxk-


Where'd that partially damaged right arm come from?

I have the whole log, in all its uncut (ie, what I send and some debugging) glory.
Any ideas?

Maybe he hit your arm sooner and you didn't notice and then you got a bug that added that affliction later? Not sure, though....isn't that a bit spammy for you?O.o

Yeah, because I check AB scrolls that often...

No, I more meant because of the up to two lines added by Health and Mana Raised/Dropped. <.< But maybe that's just me. *goes off and gags some more things in his system*

oh, they're just debugging. My logs log everything, but I turn on/off what I want to see.

EDIT: also, I don't actually see the health/mana prompt in my main display window - so I generally leave them on. Its prettier this way.

What client is that?

Tinyfugue on MacOSX.

Can we get back to the phantom limb thing? is anyone else seeing anything like this?

It happens now and then with arms and legs.. I think it is a left over from other IRE's that they haven't been able to pin down on what is causing it.. not only does it show up now and then from things that have no direct bearing on it, but it sometimes needs to be healed and sometimes vanishes on its own.

Yeah, but it interferes with my mending: if you try to apply mending whilst you have this phantom l2 damage you get no message - it just fails silently. Then you have to try restoration to fix it.

It seems a bit stupid. I'll code around it tonight, but it still seems like a bug. What would be nice is a certain wounding level inducing an l2 break, but that'd be asking much.

this has been around for ages, ive got it in tons of situations for no reason, a few times if i ignore my entire arm dissapears for no reason and nothing comes up on diag, no way to cure it. it jsut isnt there, i just hope it doesnt happen to often as ive already died a few times cos of it
