You dodge a human warrior's attack.
A human warrior misses you.
Your ancestral spirits rain curses upon a human warrior as he charges you.
A human warrior punches at your face, slightly bruising your cheek.
A centaur warrior's head butt misses you.
You are knocked unconscious by the force of a centaur warrior's blow! :o
Everything goes black.
You lose your concentration on spirit aura.
Your spirit companions leave you.

wierd?

The misses you part is referring to the damage dealt by head butt. It did no damage, but it still causes a check for unconsciousness.

This comes up every once in a while. To be honest, I think I've seen -more- people get knocked unconscious from missed headbutts than from any other kind. I think the IMMs said it's not a bug, but a feature as OA described it.

It does not necessarily mean that it missed you. It could have reached your armor, and deflected off of it causing no damage, which is the likely scenario.

I think what's happening here is that your armor protects you from the damage component of the headbutt, the skill does not do much damage in itself, so it only takes a mediocre suit to be able to negate it completely. The check for whether or not it knocks you out is still performed though, and that is what we saw witnessed in the log snippet you provided it seems.

The "bug" is not on the headbutt "missing" you. The fail is on choosing the have the "misses" you message when some skill does practically zero damage to you. I think it should be rephrased if possible by the code.
