[Success: 88, Roll: 94] A gladiator brings his arm forward, back and forward again, lashing his short whip across you viciously! You suffer a shallow cut to your face. Critical Hit! Slash gets the better of you, forcing you to parry.

Lowest success over roll on a crit I've ever seen for an NPC. Can't say I'm a fan.

Yeah, I fixed a bug recently that was preventing new creatures from inheriting anatomy lore ranks, and evidently some crazy person at one point thought it'd be fun to give them to gladiators. I've now removed them: I'm not prepared to give stables an excuse to claim personal anatomy trainers yet.

Thanks for pointing it out.
