Damage

Help File

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When one character attacks another, the severity of the damage is displayed by
the verb used in the damage message. Damage messages vary depending on the type
of weapon or attack. Escalating damage is indicated by the use of _ _ around
the messages. Messages in all caps indicate even higher degrees of damage,
while those surrounded by * * indicate the highest levels.

The message shown reflects the actual damage you are inflicting on (or
receiving from) your opponent, and not a specific fixed amount.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is important to note that not only does damage affect a character's health,
but objects on the character or in the character's inventory are also
affected.
