Is this broken? If not, what skills does it contest? And what determines damage? I'm currently learning Melee Mastery (this seems wrong), Performance, and Bardic Lore. I only ever do glancing strikes against rats, however, with Melee:64, Perform:82, and Bardic Lore: 34.

While screams teaching weird skills(Melee Mastery) does sound a bit off, I do think they're mostly just placeholders right now until the new revised Screams can be developed, and also for additional ways to train Bardic Lore.

Unfortunately I have no clue what they contest.

I had this same question... is this scream broken? It took me 14 screams to kill a rat when this used to be freaky deeky OP awesomesauce. I'm totally fine and expected this to be brought down in power, but I get the same results against rats or basilisks. I only tested on rats because I thought it was weird that I was getting the same results whether I was backtraining in leucros or hunting in germishdins, here is my attempt to scream crazy face at a poor unsuspecting rat(its not very long, but theres no new info here so feel free to ignore the log):

Screams are pretty much just waiting for a re-write into TM, etc... stuff.

I have gotten nothing but glancing hits since 3.0 went in as well. I just use it right now to teach Bardic Lore :)
