Looking for help with SC pretenders

That said - it really seems that I've watched VQs and perhaps some other beings continue doing things when their fatigue is over 100. Possibly a bug.

I believe I've seen this with all my pretenders, but it's hard to say if it's a bug, or a reflection of ambiguous combat reporting. Much as I enjoy this game, I really have a hard time getting a precise understanding of what has ocurred in combat, based on watching the replays.

The ambiguous aspect w/r to fatigue is that I don't know the sequence of recording fatigue vs. when actions are taken. For example if my pretender shows 103, then the next round the sequence could be:
1) fatigue drops to 98
2) pretender casts 5 fatigue spell
3) fatigue back to 103
4) fatigue updated on pretender's fatigue display

In which case, no bug.

But I've seen other cases where I something more complex is going on, but I really don't know enough about fatigue mechanics to attribute it to a bug, or my lack of knowledge.

Whatever the case, one of my most wished for improvements in this game is more detailed/accurate information reported during combat.
