Log: Death vs Vampire, much odd stuff shown

[xnd]

so much wierd stuff in this log.

including a dead vampire killing me with like 11 attacks in a row of purifying light, no less.

so whether there is any bug or not, im posting it here to examine.

the purrified to death one happened first, followed by the tanned to death one a few turns after returning from Eidolon.

Vampires tend to have Phantasmal Shield, which deals light damage to anything that hits them in melee. This makes hitting them with attacks that perform lots of low-damage melee strikes, like Flurry, a bad idea.

[xnd]

to that, I would wonder:

1. vampires doing sunlight damage? isnt that odd?

2. why does the first light attack do 0 damage?

3. the log shows attacks after I have already gone to Eidolon. why it would put the order wrong would be a bug?

4. what exactly is the "light" type damage? in other words, typically, vamps hate sunlight, and light that is strong enough can burn anyone, but then isnt that just "fire" if it is heat, as opposed to "holy" (upper planar celestial as opopsed to sun-star celestial)?

5. And if it is just light like sunlight, should certain creatures like Xorn, an earth-elemental type creature, really be taking damage from it? Imagine how bright the light would have to be to harm an earth elemental?

Which brings me to, there is a line that says the vampire diseases the Xorn, but the Xorn code has disease_immune=1, so wouldn't it be a bug for the vamp to disease it? or does that just mean, it gets diseased but takes no damage from it, but that's a strange way to do it?

--
Also, what if I drank that vile of elder vamp blood?

some of this is of course a general discussion but....

[xnd]

then this is also some reflection damage or get damaged when hit enemy thing, but is physical?

is there a way to limit the number of times they can do this or find out what does it?

i know some items can do damage to an attacker but how legitimate it is that you swing greatswords at someone and somehow their armor physically damages you back each time, its hard to envision that!

also see here that bringer of doom damaged the unstoppable golem. how'd that happen?
