Steampower and Physical Power

[Nagumo]

So after a pause of nearly 2 years i'm back playing ToME and right from the first minute i'm again totally addicted

I take a new run with the Ember Campaign and taking a Orc Gunslinger. After reading a little bit in the wiki and much, much more directly ingame I#m still not quite sure, if i have it:

- The Tooltip of Steampower in the character sheet misses some information (<More description>)

- The Steampower replaces in the Character Sheet the physical Power but in the Enhanced Tooltip it is still showing Physical Power (which has another value).

Questions:

1. My Steamguns are Powered by Steamtech, does that mean their damage is calculated with the Steampower? But the guns have no own damagevalue, the damage is coming from the pouch of iron shots --> So the damage of the guns should scale with physical Power, but if you look at the character sheet there is no physical power?

2. Double Shot have a chance for stunning, which increases with your Steampower --> Is the Save against this Physical or Spell?

3. The Talent Steamgun Mastery improves Physical Power, which is weard, because again in your Character Sheet there is no Physical Power at all. Or does it improve Steampower, because Steampower replaces Physical Power in terms of game mechanic?

Steampower is kinda like spellpower, it affects steamtech "spells", so anything which isn't affected by phys usually scales with steampower

Physical Power is not listed as such on the character sheet anywhere, so that's why you don't see it. If physical power changes you see this reflected in the 'Damage' listed on the Attack page of the character sheet.

Physical power can actually be seen by hovering the cursor over yourself if you need it. Phys power also affects all weapon damage. It doesn't matter if it's a gun, a dagger, or a mindstar, phys power will increase the damage of weapon attacks.
Also according to DG it depends on what type of effect it is, so a physical effect like a stun would indeed check phys save, it just happens to be stronger with steampower in this case (dirty fighting's stun chance increases with accuracy for example, so it's not always related to the corresponding power)
