Please post hitmessage for various weapons somewhere. You have posted the
descriptors for ie. avoids, cha, size in help score. ( also they have the
numeric values visible nowadays). The current damagemessages are bad because:
1) They are not intuitive, how many can really say which is more damage, a cut
or a solidly slash, without actually knowing.
2) Various damagetypes have same message, ie wielding a sword and a polearm
and then you hit a pierce. You can't really know if you hit hard with the
sword or weakly with the polearm ( well ofcourse damatype messages might
reveal more data but if you get a phys message, you can't know!)

So what i suggest be done is:
1) Someone go through the messages ( an eager mortal can do it if need be, i'm
sure) and make sure that there are no exactly same messages in them.
2) Post the messages in some helpfile

Of course i do understand if you wish to limit the publicised messages only to
those types that players can hit, that is quite allright. Incase that this
display of information is deemed unnecessary or downright too suffeli, i would
like to hear somesort of reason.
