- Hidden damage bug, fixed a few issues that I managed to find, but they don't answer all of the weird things we've seen. The things fixed are:

• - When someone autoassists, two lines of damage were showing for the wrong attacker. This is now fixed, but damage will not completely combine for the first round of combat. As a side effect to this, assisting mobs will only get one hit in the first round.
• - When your pet attacks a mob and the mob later targets you, damage was sometimes hidden that round.

Fixed a couple of other things that might help this bug, but I have absolutely not been able to recreate either the situation where you insta-kill a mob with a backstab and see no damage, or, the situation where you attack someone much much stronger than you and they kill you in the first hit of retaliation without seeing a damage msg. If you see this again, please post exactly which room you were in, what affects you had on at the time, whether you are grouped / have a pet in the room and if possible a log of the fight.

- SKIN: Important note on skin - Bregalad reported that con and wis appeared not to affect skin bonuses as documented in the helpfile. After checking the code, he is right. Con and Wis are now both important for skin. I also added a slightly higher bonus chance to add a stat if con is 500 or wis is 500 (higher chance for both). The way it now works is that for each stat, con+wis will determine your chances to add that stat to the item and, if successful, luck will determine how much.
