[CF List] problem with some diseases

[Peter Mardahl]

"negative" damage had some special meaning, like it does
ten percent of damage regardless of caster level,
while positive damage is increased by caster level.

Either that or the other way around.

Are you sure the "broken" diseases aren't simply heavily damaging
the monsters but not killing them?

Or has someone been meddling with the disease code recently and
broken the "negative" damage?
