2395, Is there a way to know if your maledictions killed someone?
Posted by Smashtro on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Say a guy you poisoned/plagued/etc. flees from battle at convulsing and gets away. Is there any way to know if the malediction killed him without spamming who pk?

Assuming he did die to my malediction, does that count as a PK win?

Is the PBF the only way of knowing the number of wins/losses, etc.?

Yeah, that one has always gotten me. As a necro (which I play a lot of) a lot of people teleport and then mob-die. You lose the kill a lot to that. Of course, I suck so I don't get many kills anyways.
2397, Hex Augur edge and some detective work

I.e. if they flee badly hurt with poison on them and hex augur gives you the message that your poison on them has worn off and they drop off your PK radar, there's a good probability it was your poison that did them in etc.
2401, Eh, that doesn't actually give you any new information.

Seeing that they drop off your PK means they died. Getting the Hex Augur message means that they died OR the poison was healed.

So.. with or without that particular edge, you know that they died. You don't know WHY they died. Maybe they teleported into a mob, or another PK, or starvation did the final amount of damage, etc.

Yup.

If I die to someone, who then two ticks later dies to the bleeding I caused, should that not be counted in my PK record? Yes he killed me first, but I got him too! :) Yes I'm looking at you Iegob!
