So happy to see exclamation marks in my spell damage finally
I was so happy to finally be able to comprehend my spell damage like how they show for regular attacks. I don't know about others but this subtle change drastically improved my gameplay experience with spell casters. I now knew roughly what damage my spells did and whether to forget them or not later. I'm not a person who wants to go deep into numbers, via the wiki etc. This seems to be applied across almost all forms of damage, be it an enemy throwing a fireball at you or you using a wand of acid. Love this. I now know when ****'s about to go down. "The fireball engulfs you!!!" is way more informative than the previous static messages. Even obscure damage like my weapon's pain brand is covered! I knew I was doing more damage thanks to my high Necro spell skill ("you bludgeon the ogre!! The ogre convulses!!" vs "you bludgeon the ogre!! The ogre convulses.")
However, having played a really long DwNe (my first spellcaster background reaching Zot, he just died FYI) I did notice one spell not having it. Vampiric Draining. I would like to report this if it's an omission but kind of new to the forums despite being a long-time player.
