Mabye I am crazy, but from what I recall of original EQ, spectres when attacking it gave the line:

"A spectre slices YOU for XX damage"

instead of what is on P99

"A spectre slashes YOU for XX damage"

Obviously not something too crucial/important just trying to see if I am remembering correctly? Thought they gave spectres this unique message because they always wield a scythe which is more of a slice than a slash attack.

The message changes depending on whether the spectre is holding a weapon. Which, in the case of an NPC spectre, will be always.
A spectre pet not holding a weapon will default at slices. Many mob types have their own unique version of (hits).
A mammoth gores, a wyrm claws, a wolf bites, etc. But when wielding a weapon, that weapon's strike message will override.

Very observant though.

I posted a list of some of the different attacks here. http://www.project1999.org/forums/showpost.php?p=46086&postcount=15

It would be the source developers that could get this working. If you find others that are wrong, I'll be keeping a list.
