Tests confirm:
The Lizard Wizard does indeed change its stat boost dependent on your weapon.
Going through a whole combat instructor with the BOA, the Lizard Wizard did a maximum of 9 damage on a single hit. This is with 25 STR and 140 INT.
9 damage is the standard max per hit (6) + the max bonus from STR (3)
The maximum possible if the liz wiz was applying INT is 6+17= 23
There is a 39% chance per hit that the Liz Wiz would not go into the "only possible with int bonus" range (10-23) even if the int bonus was applied.
Compounded over 20 hits, that's a 0.0000007% chance that the Liz Wiz just happened not to go over 9 damage if it was applying int bonuses while I wielded the BOA.
In a second test, the Liz WIz did a maximum of 23 damage while I was wielding the Dread SON, so it is proven that a magic weapon will cause the Liz Wiz to go above 9, and in fact apply the full INT bonus.
Thus, it is almost positive that the Liz Wiz applies ability bonuses based on the type for weapon you are wielding. It will use the same +damage and +bth that your weapon type uses.
What ? 61% chances (100-39) to have an amount of damage per hit between 10 and 23 when using BoA ? That sounds like a regular INT bonus, doesn't it ?
I mean, if I use your numbers, you can do from 2 to 23 damage per hit (or 24 with the roundings but let's take 23), because of the INT bonus. So you have indeed around 61% chances to do between 10 and 23 damage (~63.6%).
You misinterpreted something, I believe... Or I didn't understand what you said in the second halve of your post. ^^
I don't know what you're saying in the second part, but the first part is right anyway.
Liz Wiz is totally bugged. =p
She always attacks with magic, but she uses the stat bonuses that your weapon would use. It's the only thing that she takes from your weapon though, or from yourself. Even the BtH isn't increased.
Thanks for noticing! It might be debugged soon now. =p - Jergal
