Pretty self explanatory. I stole half of Katniss's experience from rooming without casting a single room spell.

I believe it's supposed to work this way.

It's the same as combat.  As long as you have combat engaged, it doesn't matter if you actually swing or not if the mob dies or is killed from someone else; you get the exp.

Look again. I wasn't engaged for any of that exp. At all.

It is one thing if you are actively engaged in combat, but he broke combat and still got experience for it.  That doesn't happen for melee combat.

This is definitely buggy.

I quak in a room with a hoardling + loth. Once the hoardling dies my combat is off and trying to quak again gives "Your spell has no effect in this room!" but I receive exp when loth dies.

Earthquake is level 28, LotH is spell immune +35, hence why quak no longer works. However, you shouldn't have gotten the exp for killing LotH as you shouldn't have been able to stay engaged in combat.

I wasn't engaged in combat, but still got exp.

My assumption is that Greatermud thought you were still engaged in combat as there was still a monster in the room when the previous monster died. You couldn't attempt to attack again using the spell as there was no valid target, but I would lay a bet that if you had manually broken combat at that point, you would have received a *Combat Off* message and then not gotten the exp from LotH.

I guess when you cast a room spell you've tagged that monster until it dies and there's no *Combat Off* on the other end, not that they see it. Also may seem, let's look at the loth kill,

Not sure if the QUAK actually damaged LOTH, but my guess is that if there are mobs that can take the room spell, the room takes the spell, until you can no longer cast it; ie you can quak loth until the adds are gone.

More bugs ..

In the opening post, he breaks off combat and gets the "combat off" message, but still gets credit for the kills.

*Combat Off*

I think we're looking at two issues causing the same symptom (getting XP)

1. casting a room spell and hitting mobs you shouldnt be due to level requirements, AKA loth
2. breaking after tagging monsters with a room spell and gaining XP (what happens if you leave the room?? worth a test)
