[Wick]

[/qb][/quote]I recall one of the devs (JK?) saying the attacker still got a bonus, like winning ties or something.

Also, I hadn't realized it was an area spell?! I'm not even really sure what that would mean...

Winning ties would leave it 21/15 in favor of the attacker which agrees tolerably with the lab results. It's a pretty significant advantage really.
