OK, so we have a successful pugil.

You deliver a punishing pugil strike with a bodyguard's staff!
Your pugil strike *** DEMOLISHES *** a lesser troll!
That looks fine, okie.


And heres a failed pugil, with a failed pugil improve.
A lesser troll avoids your pugil strike.
Your pugil strike misses a lesser troll.
You learn from your mistakes, and your pugil ability improves.
This too, looks perfectly normal


You deliver a punishing pugil strike with a bodyguard's staff!
Your pugil strike misses a lesser troll.
A lesser troll is gushing blood.

Its not like I'm doing wuss damage, is this some sort of bug with pugil?
