apparently now if your hit wasn't impressive enough for the game messages talk about how you "scratch the foo" as if you were some sort of cat instead of "claw the foo" which is how trolls do it.
Please fix.

Can't tell if this is serious or not, but in the code

Code:: if (you.damage_type() == DVORP_CLAWING) { if (damage_done < HIT_WEAK) attack_verb = "scratch"; else if (damage_done < HIT_MED) attack_verb = "claw"; else if (damage_done < HIT_STRONG) attack_verb = "mangle"; else attack_verb = "eviscerate"; }

There is no special casing for Trolls, maybe Trolls are just boss enough that they never get the "scratch" verb?

Code:: if (you.damage_type() == DVORP_TROLL) { if (damage_done < HIT_WEAK) attack_verb = "claw"; else if (damage_done < HIT_MED) attack_verb = "rip"; else if (damage_done < HIT_STRONG) attack_verb = "shred"; else attack_verb = "mutilate"; }

Until recently I'd never seen a troll, gh, ds or anything with claws that wasn't a cat use the verb "scratch" when attacking.
bet it's Grunt's doing.
