Hal (non-PTH) bug? (in General)

I'm not sure if this is a game-play bug, a display bug, or both, or if I'm just not noticing something, but...

Hal 16,132 26,673 26,673 0 43,098 96
That's the HP, ST, DX, AC, DI, and Ammo, respectively, of my Hal during a fight against Rehab Addict.

The DX is off. In other fights, it's 10,669. But, for some reason, it jumps to an amount equal to my ST against this one opponent.

Here's a battle log:

My Enchantments
Swiftness cast Ethereal Chains on all enemy Minions (8467)
Swiftness cast Protection on all friendly Minions (4)
Binding Chain cast Ethereal Chains on all enemy Minions (28125)
Binding Chain cast Giant Strength on all friendly Minions (53)
Ensnaring Rope cast Ethereal Chains on all enemy Minions (47773)
Ensnaring Rope cast Haste on all friendly Minions (53)
Entangling Vine cast Ethereal Chains on all enemy Minions (67421)
Entangling Vine cast Ablative Shield on all friendly Minions (26)

Their Enchantments
Redraiki cast Protection on all friendly Minions (4)

If it's something I just failed to notice, excuse me, it's 2:15 AM and I'm tired. xD

Your other fights go into melee I presume when your dex is normally lower than this?

Don't forget the penalty for using a ranged weapon in melee affects the HF. THis particular fight finished in ranged, so your dex was unaffected.

At least, that's what it looks like! But it is early on a Sunday morning, so I might be off too!

Was too early for me to remember the numbers here; still the Wiki never sleeps:

"Minions using Bows during Melee combat will suffer a penalty of 60% to DX and plus to-hit (PTH). "

this is completely anecdotal, but my Hal fam really doesn't have PTH at all (or seemingly none) because _any_ evasion/UC will make him miss, regardless of HP, range round etc.

But then again, I knew this already and still chose to use it :)

I discovered that same fact about Hal when it first came out.. and hence why I no longer use it :(

Yes,

The Hal's PTH is broken right now.

I heard it is on Jon's "to do" list.
