[.96] Hexen Bishop bug?

In the original Hexen, I remember if you got a little too close to a bishop when he blew up, he would really do some damage to you. Now, he hardly tickles off a few health.

Even when I put the Bishop into Heretic, he takes off alot of health when dying. Is there some bug that's preventing the Bishop from doing full damage when in Hexen?

The Hexen player also has some resistance to explosion damage. Graf was thinking of making this a property that you can set for all kinds of players, not just Hexen's.

EXactly. Hexen's players take only 25% of any explosive damage. And the damage by the Bishop is random so both these factors combined can easily give the impression that it doesn't do any damage. Rest assured, it does.

Well, ok .. but I've blown those guys up right infront of my face and hardly lost 5 health. :B

That looks ok. The Bishop's explosive damage is a random value between 25 and 40. Divide that by 4 and the maximum is 10 with diminishing damage the further you get away from it. And don't forget the natural resistance against damage Hexen's players have. They always have some built-in armor that reduces the damage somewhat.
