Very serious combat bug?

Do you still think it's huge positive damage from a DRN roll?

Each flagellant did negative 71 "dmg". You just need average DRN rolls to get this. It's not a bug in the RNG, it looks like a calculation bug.

The negative 71 "dmg" turns into:

Strength 7 Flagellant: 36 damage
Strength 11 Flagellant: 32 damage

The Manchaka player asked me to answer this:

Thank you vfb,
in my opinion your theory fits perfectly.
Probably the bug is about managing high negative damage scores.
Hope the dev will take care of this.
I've wasted an axperienced King of Elemental fire(together with his unquenched sword, barrier, and aseftik's armor) to a flagellant, and it's not funny.
I know that sometimes it's only matter of bad luck, but in the same game I've lost another King of elemental fire with al least 23 MR (together with his equipment, magebane and aegis) to a mind hunt by a simple starspawn without any penetration bonus.
Don't you think it's enough?
