Summary0003492: Very slow skillups when using a crossbow as a melee weapon
DescriptionA marksdwarf shot the last few bolts in his quiver at an alligator, knocking it unconscious then waded in to finish the alligator off by hand with his ☼Steel Crossbow☼. 36 pages of combat logs later the Alligator has very few unbroken bones but is still alive, and the marksdwarf is still a Dabbling Hammerdwarf.

After 50 pages (and 16 "shattering the skull" messages) the 17th skull shattering was fatal. And the marksdwarf is a Novice Hammerdwarf.

Attacking a prone target does not grant experience. It's pretty much always been this way.

Ah, I didn't know that. In that case I guess the bug should be closed.

Ok, cool. I didn't notice the prone bit when I read this.
