A Judge for Every Blow
Damage was applied in five different places. Now there is only one.
A normal hit, an arrow, a spell, the boss's sword and his vortex each dealt damage their own way, with their own checks — and only two of them bothered to check whether the target was still alive.
All five now go through one judge. Beyond fixing the differences, it is what makes an authoritative server possible: the game has a single door where every request for damage can be examined before it becomes a wound.
