    So yeah, I just today realised that you don't actually get any to hit bonus from your weapon proficiencies. Even checked a fresh install to make sure it wasn't the patch or the fix pack... nope, nothing. What the heck? Doesn't seem to be anything wrong in the WSPECIAL.2DA. Do the rest of you folks have the same problem?

    Where did you see this ? what stats where you looking at ?

    It might be that PST dont list a summarised display for this on the normal "Thac0" in charactersheet ? (I am fairly certain one of the games did that, just never remembered wich one).

    Hmm... I can't even remember if the game displayed the "to hit rolls" at all.

    The statistics screen only displays the base Thac0. The bonuses (str, proficiency, enchantment) are shown at the bottom of the text box in a single number. Like so:
    To Hit:+1
    Damage: +2

    Yes, the statistics box displays your base THAC0 under 'Proficiencies', and then further down under 'Ability Bonuses' you have to hit, damage and various other things.

    The damage bonus from your proficiencies is displayed properly, and the to hit bonuses from any enchanted weaponry and your strength are, as well... there's just no to hit bonus from proficiencies, so far as I can see.

    You can check it out pretty easily, just start a new game, select Morte and check his stats. He comes with a ++ in fist weapons, so he should have a natural +1 to hit and +2 damage. The damage bonus is there, but the to hit bonus isn't.
