      Anyone knows why the damage is different on a martial artist if you shift the combat ring on to the other hand? I'm not using a shield. It's listing better damage for the combat ring on the off-hand, with higher percentages of the latter strikes.

        So force-trainers can wield wizard staves but don't get the Decreased mana, is this intentional?

          I think both of these are bugs. Combat Ring should give equal damage with the ring on either hand for martial artists. But, maybe there is now a aesthetic reason for lefties (i.e. Ring on Left Hand for two-handed martial arts) to do more damage, who knows?

          A bit off topic: By design, I definitely know the Main Gauche is supposed to give an AC bonus if wielded left-handed

            Could there be a Poscheng realm of magic 'Enchantment' focusing on sleep, slow, charm etc?

              Sounds kinda close to the sorcery realm. Sorcery has the detects/teleports & other utils as well but you'd need something pretty good to skip the extra goodies sorcery grants to make it viable.

                These bugs are still ongoing in version 5.0.5:
                Spells are not shown in the chardump for Force-Trainers and Blue-Mages

                  What about adding an authentically named Harry Potter relalm? Could have the Potterverse monsters, uniques and arts as well...

                    It would be neat to see hex mage redesigned as an extreme debuff class (like the Etrian Odyssey hexer) instead of the useless broken-english oddity that it is now.

                      Apparently, one of the PosChengband forks had a significant change made to the Duelist class. Perhaps, this should be incorporated into Chris' official PosChengband release in the future. See gomen_gomen's winning Duelist. You'll see what I mean.

                        There's something buggy about how martial arts damage is displayed. I can press ~w, ~w, ~w without taking a turn & every time the damage output displayed is different. I'm wearing Narya if that makes a difference.

                          The same thing happens in the character sheet 'C' with weapons. I think it may be intentional, who knows? Chris would, of course

                            Afair, damage is simulated - there is no fixed formula, rather, X attacks are made and averages are shown.

                              In older versions (i.e. before version 4 or 5, I don't remember), chardumps used to display a numerical damage range. Nowadays, there is just an average or so. (i.e. or so, meaning branded damage has its own average too).
