Errorlog just has a lot of stuff about a farmer streetwalker or something, I didn't ask questions and moved along.
I wasn't able to get it to work with shield stuff but it was behaving like armor deflection and doing it really really really often when normally it is an occasional thing, and this only happened after I added the ubstep/coverage stuff as I recall.
Yeah, searching through the rest of the logs, only that save had the raw changes to add the armor tokens to the weapon and only that one has the spam of "deflected by spear" stuff. If it was just due to weapon skills then it would certainly show up with some of the folks I have who were way more legendary than Nine (the elf with the spear there) was.
1535/2100 Spearman
2***/2500 Fighter
He has 170 something kills at this point, I've had folks who I used the shaft of enlightenment on who needed 10k or 13k to level up their combat skills who didn't do the deflection spam like he did.
Heck, that explains why I had to check the earlier gamelog, I migrated him to my .df24 folder and undid the spearmod in the process, so he didn't have the constant deflection spam anymore. All I did was copy the non-shield skill and size parts from the shield raw to the spear.
