Damage
From Salem Wiki
There are currently two kinds of damage you can cause in Salem:
Blood Damage
This is the damage you do to other players (and creatures?)
The formula used was explained on irc by loftar:

well, it's possible that it changed, but i doubt it. chatlogs ahoy: 16:48 loftar [swords] didn't get knocked per se. They merely got updated to the new(er) damage model. 16:48 loftar They now do twice as much damage as punch. 16:48 loftar Of course, they'll be replaced altogether with the new fighting system. It was just a stop-gap. 16:50 sabinati punch was sqrt(sqrt(ybile)) or something right 16:51 loftar No, it works such that it draws an amount of your own ybile, which scales as sqrt(current ybile). 16:51 loftar And then does 5 times that amount in blood damage on the target. 16:51 loftar The sword now works the same, except it draws twice the amount of ybile, and therefore does twice the damage. 16:55 loftar For punch, [the amount of yellow bile drained] is sqrt(ybile / 10k) * 0.05 * 10k 16:55 sabinati with 5k being the starting value for ybil 16:55 loftar Yes. 16:57 loftar Note that it's your current amount of ybile that counts, not your cap. 16:59 sabinati what about stomp/uppercut 17:00 sabinati do they use similar damage forumulas w/r/t drain vs damage 17:00 loftar Stomp uses 0.15 instead of 0.05, and uppercut 0.1 instead of 0.05. 17:00 loftar However, they translate worse into blood damage. 17:00 loftar Uppercut does 4 times the drained ybile in blood damage, and stomp 3.
So to sum it up with current numbers and simplified:
- cYB = Current Yellow-Bile
- YBd = Yellow-Bile drain
- Dmg = Blood-Damage done
| Attack type: | YBd: | Dmg: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stomp | 1.5 * SQRT(cYB/10) | 3 * YBd | eg. 4.5 * SQRT(cYB/10) |
| Uppercut | 1 * SQRT(cYB/10) | 4 * YBd | eg. 4 * SQRT(cYB/10) |
| Punch | 0.5 * SQRT(cYB/10) | 5 * YBd | eg. 2.5 * SQRT(cYB/10) |
| Thrust | 1 * SQRT(cYB/10) | 5 * YBd | eg. 5 * SQRT(cYB/10) |
Example, stomp with 5 YB:
- Yellow Bile Drained = 1.06 points.
- Blood Damage caused = 3.18 points.

Like the difference in damage done to a plank fence between a 400 Phlegm character and a 1000 Phlegm character will be 0. If two strong characters take 4 hours to bash down a brick corner post, they will always take that long, no matter how high their humors.
(12:37:24 AM) Beanieman: Damage is sqrt(phlegm / 10k) * 10. (12:37:47 AM) Hanuman: 10k? (12:38:26 AM) Beanieman: Where phlegm is of course specified as per the server's internal idea of preciseness. So 5 points would be 5000 to the server. (12:39:08 AM) Beanieman: Which means that if the game tells you that you have 20 points of phlegm then the formula would read sqrt(20k/10k) * 10 (12:39:49 AM) Beanieman: Soak is then simply subtracted from that number. (12:47:59 AM) Beanieman: Note that it counts present phlegm when determining damage, not the maximum cap
