I would like to request two things:
1) please go through the hitmessages and remove the same exact messages
between various hit-types. "pierce" & "powerfully pierce" are distinguishable,
but "pierce" & "pierce" are not.

2) It would be nice if the various hitmessages could be listed in helpfiles
within the game. This would make it easier to compare damage done with various
attacktypes. Just the ones available to players would suffice for me, (
cutweapons, pierceweapons, bluntweapons, monkmarts, tigermarts, special
attacks ( horns, tails, hoofs, whatever), shields).

The point of this is ofcourse to have it easier to make hitcounter trigs. The
motivation to hitcounter trigs is that it would be easier to figure out what
kind of damage you do, how do other people compare to your damage. The
messages are not really descriptive at all, you have to know them to be able
to speculate upon what kind of damage is being done. Just showing numbers
ofcourse would be preferable, but i guess that hitmessages are the way that
has been decided to go.
