I have my main character equipped with the Staff of the Ram +6 and a Girdle of Strength (20). During combat, I noticed that the damage being done was too low:

the staff does damage: 1d6+12+1d4
strength bonus: +8
specialization: +2
two-handed weapon style: +1

This adds up to 25-33 damage each hit, while I was only doing 17 or 18 with each hit.
I've used SK to extract the staff, end then opened it with IEEP to verify the input. The file didn't seem to list the 1d4 piercing damage the staff does, so there really IS a difference between the description and the actual item.
Is there a bug in the item?
Thanks, Geert

[Edit - forgot my specialization bonus]

maybe the enemy has resistance to blunt weapons?

I was fighting Shadow Fiends. Don't know if they are resistant...

I've encountered the same thing with the Staff of the Ram. I tested it on non-resistant targets, namely my own party members, and I didn't get the extra piercing damage.

I've added the piercing damage to the Staff of the Ram +6, and I could mail the file to all interested.

Take Care,
Geert

Interested!

Thanks for the bother.
Could`t give my ranger/cleric anything else...

I've just sent you the file. Enjoy!

Take Care, Geert
