how do damage multipliers work?

There are other possibilities for how it might work. For instance, it could be that only the amount that gets past protection and immunity is multiplied.

The sticky thread about IRC channels gives you the addresses of the two IRC channels (well, assuming both are still up and running). Direct link for this thread is here .

#2 it is. Strength and dmg, but not the die roll. Midgetmasher, shortsword and holy weapons are all affected, as are heavenly horn and the spell holy pyre.

Thank you sir! That makes these weapons far more powerful and this is why people think that Hearld Lances are great weapons. It all makes sense now. Thanks.

Wow! I'm gonna git me some herald lances, yee-ha!

So, those flambeaus were 13 damage + 19 strength = 32 x 3 = 96 armor piercing damage. OMFG. So your super-mega demon SC has a 50 protection and 200 hit points? Dead in 3 hits. Muhuhahahahahaahah!!!!!

A herald lance would be 6 + 19 = 25 x 3 = 75 damage. Nice! Especially for a 1-handed weapon, that's superb.
