item_kickdamage cap?
I guess no-one thought people would use this. I have an offensive martial mastery, which adds bonus to kick damage. But now it doesn't add anymore damage, I guess it's capped at +255%? It's problematic, because my kicksin needs a lot of hits to kill hell monsters. I tried to just add normal +%damage, but that didn't increase the damage as much. Oh well, still have bonuses to deadly strike and crushing blow as well, and a poison mastery.

Re: item_kickdamage cap?
How exactly are you adding the kick damage to your character and how do you know it is capped at +255? I was able to get at least +1000 kick damage adding onto kicks via an aura (which I tested in comparison to +1000 damage melee attack which seemed to do about the same damage). I presume the limit is +8192 kick damage based on itemstatcost.txt.
But regardless, item_kickdamage is really wonky to use. It is broken when added as a property via items since it always gives double the supposed value (which makes it workable although awkward), but when added via skills it is even worse, completely ignoring dmg% and the strength bonus (it only factors in percent kick damage from kick skills). The only way I can think of to make it work well when given by skills is to assign it to an aura and use the clc (stat('item_kickdamage'.accr)*(100+stat('damagepercent'.accr+1.2*stat('strength'.accr)))/100 to simulate the normal percent damage increase that applies to kick damage that doesn't come from item_kickdamage.
Unrelated, but are you sure Deadly Strike works? The kick functions normally ignore it altogether, along with critical strike, dmg% against undead/demons and +damage.
It might also be worth noting that strength and dexterity semi-secretly add flat kick damage (that isn't broken), although giving the player tons of strength/dexterity might be an issue since they give many other additional benefits.

Re: item_kickdamage cap?
i have a passive martial mastery.
item_kickdamage skill('Offensive Martial Mastery'.lvl)*10
wow, actually, it seems capped at +64%? it adds 10% per level, and it stopped adding dmg after 7 points in the skill? changing from 700dmg to 1100dmg.
as for deadly strike, i at least get the animation?
i have myrmidon greaves, since they have max damage of 149, it might cap at 200dmg or something? really odd...
i'm using 1.14b

Re: item_kickdamage cap?
I think I know what the problem is. In itemstatcost.txt, you need to change SendBits of item_kickdamage. By default, it is 7 which means 2^7, or 128, but since it is signed it is actually 2^(7-1)=64. From my brief experimentation, lowering or increasing the limit doesn't actually do anything except change what the LCS will read. Even if I set it to 2^(2-1)=2, I'm still able to deal around 1000 damage by adding +1000 kick damage despite the LCS thinking my damage is much, much lower.
