At the moment, it seems that many attacks in the raws are never used; there appear to be no pommel strikes, flat blade or shaft hits. I don't know what this depends on: the unused attacks are all blunt and there are edged ones available for the same weapon, and they all modify the message (pommel/flat blade/shaft strike). Does anyone know for sure if this behaviour is intended?

Have you seen them in adventurer mode? They definitely work.

all attacks of a weapon do get used there just rare.

I'm even more confused now. If that is the case, what determines the relative frequencies?

Whether it's true or not, it says somewhere in the wiki that edged strikes are 100x more common than blunt strikes (if a weapon has both), or something like that.

...here we go. http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Weapon_token

You can have many ATTACK tags and one will be randomly selected for each attack, with EDGE attacks 100 times more common than BLUNT attacks. Required.

Thank you very much, this clears it up nicely!
