Mafia bug, we choose whether to attack or use spells based on the monster's physical resistance, which (if it's indeed immune to physical damage) is set incorrectly:

> ash $monster[angry ghost].physical_resistance

Returned: 0

> ash $monster[chalkdust wraith].physical_resistance

Returned: 100

It also clearly isn't immune to physical damage, or it would be taking exactly 1 damage from each of those hits.

The combat script could use some work against scalers though, it struggles on non-myst classes because it doesn't use spells often enough. That or I guess the more likely problem is it not using weaksauce aggressively enough, because attacking scalers shouldn't be an issue in that case...

Huh, you are right... actually doh, I think it was attacking with the lightsabre, which deals prismatic damage. and the instances of single digit damage is because it was simply missing. Not because ghosts are immune to physical damage (they are, its just not the issue in this case).

My bad there.

Weaksauce on scalers would be a great opening move. So good idea there. Actually this is basically issue #203
