Could you help me calculating damage for my character? I'm at my wit's end. Screenshot attached.

  Have you ever dealt 9 or 2 damage in a fight?
  
  It could be a hidden variable not listed on the character screen.

  Good question. I'll check it when I get home.

  I would say that Adventure Guide (page 39) from official website trumps fan-made wiki. And the AG doesn't show any damage penalty for lack of proficiency, what's more interesting different classes get different to hit penalty.

  There is a line you can insert into your baldur.lua file that will make the combat log show literally EVERYTHING that modifies attack and damage. I forgot what it was exactly, but you may be interested in trying it for things like this if you really are obsessed with game mechanics. The only problem is that when this line is inserted the combat log gets extremely cluttered so you probably don't want it on all the time.
  
  Let me see if I can find the line for you...
  
  Edit: Here we go. Just paste this line into your .lua file to see all the modifiers.

   SetPrivateProfileString('Game Options','Extra Combat Info','1')

  You shouldn't be receiving a penalty to your damage for lack of proficiency. You should only be receiving a penalty to ThAC0.

  I suspect that the weapon prof. guide may be wrong. There is a Thaco penalty, but not a damage penalty - this is the case in both bgee and bg2ee (version 1.3).
