[Gelston]

Not having 60 ranks of manip lore and having to play an instrument makes me a sad panda.

[Buckwheet]

What made me sad was back in the day Pooka's were so rich. You would have gotten a diamond or emerald off of half the kills!

Since fixskilling my bard from sword/board to pure I haven’t really taken him out hunting. I’ve never seen the scalpel thing. Its creepy cool.

I’ve searched these boards and the internet in general and cannot find any other instance of the scalpel appearing in sonic disruption.

The first wave of hits are clearly slash but the second wave in which you actually see the scalpel seem like crush. And why the heck did my go up 81 on a renewal?

The first three attacks are Song of Sonic Disruption with disruption, not slash, criticals. Since ghostly pookas are noncorporeal, the critical messaging is from the generic noncorporeal critical table. The source of the damage makes no difference. For example, this is the Rank 8 - Head critical messaging, The ghostly pooka's head is split cleanly in two, but reseals from the neck up!. You will get this same messaging for all damage sources: maul(crush only), arrow (puncture only), minor acid etc.

Also, for the first three attacks the actual raw damage done conforms to the known damage formula for 1030. The damage factor is 0.600 with additional damage based on (Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks * 0.6). Additional damage is capped at 36.

CS: +190 - TD: +105 + CvA: +25 + d100: +24 == +134
Sound waves disrupt for 56 damage!

Actual raw damage: 56
Calculated raw damage: 56
(34 * 0.600) + 36 = 56

The other set of attacks are not Song of Sonic Disruption. The messaging and raw damage results rule 1030 out.

A matte grey scalpel appears from midair, and it moves with evident purpose to take a deliberate, methodical slice at a ghostly pooka.
CS: +271 - TD: +119 + CvA: +25 + d100: +16 == +193
Warding failed!
... and hits for 68 points of damage!

The raw damage does not fit the 1030 damage formula. If it was sonic disruption the damage messaging would be, Sound waves disrupt for 68 points of damage!, rather than ... and hits for 68 points of damage!

Actual raw damage: 68
Calculated raw damage (if 1030): 91
(93 * 0.600) + 36 = 91

Maybe there was divine intervention or just a bug. Hard to tell.

I would guess the scalpel thing is the attack message of someone's 319... at the beginning of the log was the start of the spell:



A soft, rhythmic ringing echoes through the air. It sounds like someone honing a small blade.

Don't know which Arkarti or Spirit it's for, though...

Good catch! I think it's Judgement (1630). CS based, three targets, and the weapon vanishes.

[Asha]

I love the weapon thing. Would love to know what else there are.

[Asha]

Oh nice, Krakii has some examples of 3 or 4 deitys

Mark
Yeah, I suppose it could be 1630... but, if the rhythmic ringing messaging is a part of the same spell, then it most likely isn't, since there's a delay between that and the actual damage frames.



>1630 Paladin of Kuon
You motion forcefully as you confidently call on your patron in the invocation for Judgment...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at a putrefied Citadel herald.
You briefly close your eyes, and a cloud of leaves gently rain down upon you. A faint golden light builds up and emanates from your hand before it takes the shape of an ethereal falarica!

The ethereal falarica slowly decays and falls to the ground as a mass of dead leaves.

Also, looking over the 1630 hit, it turns out there's no individual-hit "vanish" messaging (only the one at the end, after all the creatures have been hit), where there is with 319.
