Shattered Kingdoms

So as I see it, I sever his hand, forearm, whole right arm, whatever. Then he punches me with it. Then I chop it off again. Just a little off to me.

I think it says arm, regardless of whether its finger, arm, or hand. Same with leg. I have noticed a finger, a hand, and an arm fall off and get seperate messages saying you severed their arm.

That was all one battle, that would account for her 5 fingers, her hand, and then 3 pieces of her arm. Seems a bit of a bug to me

This is probably what I would consider a damage message problem. Did you find 5 arms lying in the dust at the end of the battle? If you had really severed the arm, it should have been lying on the ground.

That hard to make a check on that damage message to see if the arm is on or not so it can opt to a different message if said arm is no longer there?

Well it's supposed to, but it seems not to be working obviously. I've heard this bug reported occasionally for a long time now, but it's certainly not been one of my top priorities.

Not a big deal, just something I noticed since making sound triggers for dismemberment.

the problem is, that you cant actually e-parry a limb off. It will SAY you cut it off, but you can NEVER actually cut it off untill you send a normal(non eparry/non riposte) attack at them. Actually, i cant account for Riposte, but Eparry is as I have said. Its simply impossible to actually cut off someones limbs with Eparry alone, you have to hit said limb with a regular attack in order to actually, really cut it off. Go figure. Hooray for coding bugs.
