Glass contructs give Empathic shock on kill 08/05/2017 08:18 PM CDT
Saw an Empath kill a glass construct today and she didn't get shock from any attacks until the 'kill' which did give her Empathic shock. Is this intended? Seems like a bug. I thought a construct was a construct was a construct. The 'kill' was delivered with a shield slam if that makes any difference.

Bugged ingame.

Yes, this sounds like a bug. Thanks for the info about shield slam, that may have something to do with it.

Sorry Melete, the empath in question forgot to bug it; so it wasn't bugged ingame after all. Here's the log snippet:

Strongly, Empath slams a pavise shield at a huge glass construct. A huge glass construct badly fails to block with its bloodied fist. The shield flashes with a brilliant silver light and lands a heavy strike that rips the left arm away with a wet sucking sound!

[The Crossing, Western Gate]
Camels, oxen, and mules compete with Elves, Gor'Togs, and Humans to pass through the narrow gate which breaches the stone wall between town and the western reaches. The lowing of animals, and the bellowing of irate travelers become almost indistinguishable the more you listen. After a few minutes, so do the unmistakable odors of unwashed sojourners and domestic beasts of burden. It begins to dawn on you why folks are anxious to pass through customs, whatever the cost, as quickly as possible. You also see a huge glass construct, some stone stairs leading to the top of the town wall, the Guard House and the Western Gate.
