Yep it does, evening star makes permanent weakness and the target gets a "Magic Bonus +-x".

nice way to combat SC if you can't kill em right away.. send something with loads of attacks and an evening star

Mmh, seems to me VERY wicked that it ignores shield defense. ^_^ Does it at least require to hit - taking away at least 1hp - in order to drain strength? If it doesn't (like the poison arrows) it could *maybe* require some kind of fixing. (attention I think poison arrow will get, as KO seemed quite surprised by that fact in Sombre's thread 'bout that topic)

No, no, I was just saying it is a very efficient way to render someone's beloved SC pretender or so pretty useless ^_^ If this is supposed to work this way, it's ok for me at all! Better, I just found something fun to try on that nasty Great Momma (oh damn right, she tramples)

(great work with this game mr Kristoffer, I was just waiting the occasion to see you somewhere )

It doesn't render SCs useless. Many SCs kill mostly with area effects anyway (Shadow Brand/Stone Sword/Sunslayer) which aren't dependent on Strength. The direct damage from hitting somebody with the sword is just a bonus, unless you go up against another SC.

Strength matters more for regular units than SCs.

I just said "pretty useless"!!!

Ok, ok, joking ^_^ Yep you're right. Ok. It seems anyway something nice to put on a couple of very niche, specialized thugs... Pity not much use in SP but it's the same. When I'm back home I'll give it a try
